This condition causes cloudiness of the lens, resulting in blurry vision. Cataracts also cause light from traffic or headlights to dominate your field of vision and appear as a halo or glare. Luckily, night driving after cataract surgery can improve since the cloudy lens is replaced with a ...
When taking aroad tripat night, make sure the windshield and headlights are clean. Use lubricating eye drops about 30 minutes before hitting the road and avoid putting them in right before the drive begins as drops can make vision slightly, temporarily blurry. Those who struggle with nighttime ...
Iwach said people who have trouble seeing during nighttime driving should make an appointment with their eye doctor. If they wear glasses or contacts, they might need a new prescription, he said. In other cases, dry eyes might be a factor. The pupil dilates at night, and the dry air of...

Cataracts are a natural clouding of your eyes’ lenses, and their removal could make your night vision clearer. Glaucoma and dry eye are also factors that could contribute to trouble seeing at night, and your doctor can help with those, too. There are nonmedical ways you can help your ...
In general, older drivers with a functional impairment were more likely to drive less than 4 days per week. Older drivers with a history of cataracts or high blood pressure were more likely to report a low number of days driven per week, while subjects with visual impairment were at ...
A progressive clouding of the natural lens inside the eye that causesblurry vision, glare and halos around lights. Cataracts can also make it harder to see well at night, in bad weather or in low light conditions. And they can gradually diminish color vision. Some classic symptoms that you...
The results indicated that higher (i.e., better) overall driving scores were correlated with better contrast sensitivity. Contrast sensitivity measured under photopic conditions was a better predictor of the recognition of road signs, obstacles and pedestrians while driving at night than was photopic ...
Loss of contrast, which begins in our 30s and worsens with increasing age, can make driving in the evening or at night much more difficult for older drivers. If you have trouble after dark reading signs or pavement markings, or distinguishing objects from their background (for example, a ped...
