Which eyeglasses should I choose for driving at night?
Many people have to drive at night for professional or personal reasons.
But the special conditions can make driving more difficult and the road more prone to accidents.
That's why it's important to wear prescription glasses that are specially adapted for night driving to make your journeys as safe as possible.
The specific aspects of night-time driving
Obviously, road conditions cannot be the same at night as they are during the day.
In fact, as soon as it gets dark, light fades and the field of vision becomes less clear and less perceptible.
Contrast and relief become harder to distinguish and visibility is reduced.
It has been shown that our visual acuity is halved at night, which can make driving quite dangerous.
The natural decrease in brightness is compensated by artificial light from street lamps, which is sometimes insufficient on some country roads.
The light from other cars' headlights must also be taken into account, as it can sometimes impair visibility or even cause blindness.
To these lighting parameters must be added the state of fatigue in which drivers may find themselves at night.
These conditions lead to a decrease in reflexes, potential drowsiness and the need for greater effort to maintain attention.
All these conditions specific to night driving require the use of perfectly adapted eyewear.
Glasses for night time driving
To ride safely in low light conditions, it's important to wear appropriate prescription glasses.
To cope with these special night conditions, yellow-tinted lenses are particularly recommended.
In fact, these lenses provide a better perception of contrasts and reliefs to improve visibility.
Yellow lenses also have the added benefit of reducing eye fatigue, which is common at night.
Prescription glasses for night driving should also have an anti-reflective coating.
This treatment reduces the glare that can be caused by car headlights.
A blue-wave filter can also be added to your prescription night driving glasses.
You can choose a model of prescription eyeglasses specifically designed for night wear, or have your current prescription glasses adapted.
