Night Driving Glasses – For Safer, Clearer Vision on the Road
Driving at night comes with a huge responsibility, and having a clear vision is extremely important. Glare from headlights, reflections on wet roads, and reduced visibility at night can make it challenging to drive safely. At Specscart, we understand that safety and clear vision go hand in hand; hence, we have a range of night driving glasses for you. Let’s understand how they help cut down glare, reduce eye strain and offer clear vision at night.
What Are Night Driving Glasses?
Nighttime driving glasses are eyewear designed to offer comfortable vision during the night. These lenses are specially designed to cut down glare, enhance contrast, and sharpen your vision in low-light conditions. They not only look cool but also serve a practical purpose. Here are the different types of lenses you can choose from:
Prescription lenses: To correct refractive errors like myopia, hyperopia and presbyopia.
Non-prescription lenses: Perfect for drivers with stable eyesight but who still need protection from glare.
Different Lens Coatings for Night Time Glasses for Driving
To enhance your eye comfort while driving at night, here are some lens coatings you need to consider:
Anti-glare coatings: Helps cut down excessive glare from street lights, headlights, and other vehicles.
Tinted lenses: Yellow-tinted lenses are considered the best for nighttime driving as they ensure optimal colour contrast.
Transitions Lenses: Also known as photochromic lenses, these serve as both glasses and sunglasses. At night, they function as regular nighttime glasses with anti-glare coating. During the day, Transitions XTRActive turn into sunglasses—even while driving.
Why Use Night Driving Glasses?
If you are wondering why you need nighttime glasses for driving, here’s what they offer:
Reduced glare: Minimises harsh light from headlights and streetlights while driving at night.
Better contrast: Enhances colour contrast, making it easier to spot pedestrians, road signs, and obstacles.
Less eye strain: Helps reduce eye strain and fatigue, especially during long journeys.
Night Driving Glasses for Astigmatism
Astigmatism is a common eye condition that leads to blurry vision. It occurs when either the front surface of the eye (cornea) or the lens inside the eye has mismatched curves. This can make night driving difficult, leading to blurred, streaky, or haloed vision. It may also affect depth perception and overall clarity on dark roads. At Specscart, we can customise your night driving glasses for astigmatism so that you can see clearly and drive safely.
