I'd never wear sunglasses at night. Polarized lenses are fantastic at making mildly foggy and rainy driving clearer, but during the day. I can't say that I've even tried them at night, but I truly think that could end badly. I have driven with polarized lenses in other conditions and they do help.

I have a non-glare application applied to my prescriptive lens and I would never be without it.

Katlan...if you're having that much of a problem with night vision...let me suggest that you have a thorough eye exam soon. This is often an indicator of vision issues above and beyond just normal night vision difficulty. It may be nothing but it would be advisable to check. It was a major warning of my current vision problems [macular degeneration] and I ignored it thinking it might be a temporary "thing". It was not.

Ditto Anne. Definitely have it checked out.

Thanks Anne, I do get eye exams every year. I wear contacts. Night time driving has bothered me for probably 4 or 5 years now, since I turned 50, ugh. I see the commercials on tv for crizal (sp?) lenses and they look fabulous but I seldom wear my prescription glasses.

We have polarized sunglasses that we use when fishing. These glasses are tinted yellow, so I was hoping they would do the job without making everything too dark.

Why not try it since you already have polarized lens? As a passenger in the car, or just walking around with them...

If your prescription glasses aren't uncomfortable, Kat...try wearing them with a clip-on. I wear Solar Shield clipons and would never be without them. They're rugged....which is a must for me because I'm not the gentlest human being when it comes to glasses. I'm literally not allowed outside without some eye protection these days...and the Solar Shield clipons are the best I've ever had through my many eons of clip-on wearing. I've linked their site below.

I've had Crizal lenses and they are fabulous...as well as being fabulously expensive. Sigh. I'm currently getting my prescription glasses through BJ's and their light weight lenses are as good, if not better than the Crizal lenses that I had before. Plus they're about half [or less] the price of Crizal and I see no difference. Personally...I think it's a matter of advertisement snob appeal. LOL

I just now clicked on your link for the anti-glare glasses...and remembered that my deceased husband had ordered and warn them. He was not impressed. He eventually changed to polarized clipons and was much happier with the sight results.

The glare of the water is devastating to our eyes. I sailed for many years without eye protection and I'm sure it had a lasting effect on my eye sight...as well as contributing to my current macular degeneration. Although I have a genetic predisposition for it...mine started much later in my life [late 60's- early 70's] than it did with my father so perhaps my years of taking Lutein has helped. It seems to have stabilized my bad eye now so I'll never be without it.

Best of luck with whatever decision you make. :-)

Thank you everyone for your opinions. I don't wear my prescription glasses very much because the lenses are so heavy they hurt my nose to wear them.

The solarshield flipups posted by Anne look similar to what I linked to. That's why I thought maybe the glasses I posted might actually work.

Good idea Rob, i'll see if DH has any polarized glasses in his boat that aren't tinted really dark, won't hurt to try.

Katlan, are your heavy glasses made of glass? When I wore glasses (before my cataract surgery and lens implants), I had a strong prescription with progressive lenses, but they were made of plastic and were never heavy. I remember the much heavier glass eyeglasses of my youth.

Prescription glasses don't do much good if you can't wear them.

I will have to check, I honestly don't know. They are line-less trifocal's. They are at least 6 years old.

You're right Alisande, they aren't much good if you can't wear them. I ask every year if there's an alternative for the lenses and they say no.

I probably should go somewhere else.....although I've been with these 2 for decades. They definitely aren't the cheapest around and after DH retired we lost our vision and dental coverage so everything is out of pocket.

I had the same issue with night driving. It got to the point that I felt it was unsafe so I had laser surgery (Lasik) and what a life changer. This was about 12 years ago and Im still so happy with the results. Definitely worth the money and the prep time (having to wear glasses for a time to allow my eyes to repair a bit after having worn contacts for many many years). It would be worth your while to check into this.

I have worn Blu-Blockers which are amber tinted non-prescription "sunglasses" for at least 20 years when I am riding in a car at night and it is raining. I have heard MANY people use them when using an iPad or tablet at home in the evening or else the glafe from the screen gives them insomnia.. Something about the body's melatonin.. I buy mine at Amazon.

We took my MIL with macular degeneration to a specialist who helped people with vision problems to cope better. Among the various things she talked about that day, the specialist mentioned yellow tinted glasses. My MIL was beyond driving at that point - this was about maneuvering around the house. However, I found this, about night time driving glasses:
Yellow lenses - no benefit
