LED Headlights and Snow

Actually quite a few people have not vision issues and it is not a problem but the way some eyes work.

As an example I cannot bear to use lights if I wake up during the night, my eyes are very sore, so I just move around with no lights.

If it is dark I can see very well, but any glare and I am blinded, it also means I cannot get night vision if I have ANY glare.

If a car has poor lights and there is a lot of other traffic around I struggle a bit. With good lamps I am OK.

Yet if miles from anywhere I could drive by moonlight.

So yes people with good vision can have issues with night driving, and it is not a fault with their eyes.

I wonder if they are the same people with DRL issues?

So you obviously have a vision defect, that should be sorted before you kill yourself or some other poor fecker when you are out at night.
There are special glasses to help with this problem.

Night blindness affects the ability to drive and is a condition the Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency (DVLA) needs to be told about.

You may well have a dietary deficiency ...

or short sightedness - or even glaucoma ...

this may result in 'night blindness' ...

Please see an optician or your doctor ...
for everyones sake ...

I see the opticians regularly, I work on a computer and see them at least every 2 years.



I am short sighted, I wear glasses.

My vision is fine, I just can't take glare, been like it since I was a child.

I can see very well in the dark, just cannot take bright lights when in night vision mode. Dipped headlamps are fine, those DRLs kill night vision. I just need decent headlamps that is all. Had 70s cars halogen converted, previous 2 cars were HIDs. My D2 lights are OK.

Worst driving conditions are dawn and dusk when sensible drivers are on dip and morons are on DRLs
