What are night driving glasses?

Night driving glasses are usually non-prescription glasses with yellow tinted lenses. They often include some kind of anti-reflective coating to eliminate reflections from the streetlights and oncoming headlights that cause eyeglass glare.

People who wear yellow tinted glasses for hunting and other sports often find that shooting glasses increase the contrast of objects against an overcast sky. This makes them especially popular among bird hunters.

But do they really help you see better while you're driving at night?

Do night driving glasses really work?

Some wearers of night driving glasses report that they're better able to see at night while wearing them. However, visual tests indicate that night driving glasses do not improve night vision, and do not help drivers see pedestrians any faster than they would without them.

The best glasses for night driving

Instead of night driving glasses, here are some tips to help you see clearer vision while driving at night.

First, uncorrected refractive error with glasses might make people see less clear at night. People will be surprised about how much clearer they can see at night when the refractive errors are corrected by the eye doctor.

Moreover, choosing glasses with an anti-reflective coating can help reduce nearsightedness, astigmatism, or farsightedness at night. This type of glasses allows almost 100% of light to your eyes which can help drivers have the best vision anytime.

Most importantly, the best way for night driving is to know your eye condition first. Go see the eye doctor see which is the best option for your eye while driving at night!
