Is your vision compromised when you drive at night? If so, ask your eye doctor to prescribe special eyeglasses that can help you see better on the road at night, like those with anti-reflective coated lenses and lenses that are developed with wavefront diagnostic technology to reduce halos, start bursts, glare and other distractions. And follow these 5 tips to enhance your night driving safety:

Enhance Your Driving Safety

  1. Plan your trips ahead and drive on familiar routes.
  2. If possible, avoid having to make left turns without the assistance of a traffic light.
  3. Allow for extra driving time so you don’t feel rushed.
  4. Leave more space between you and the vehicle in front of you than you would during the day – at least two car lengths.
  5. Make sure your windows and mirrors are clean. If your night vision is slightly poorer than your day vision, eliminate grime or weather-related obstacles that could further complicate visibility at night.

It’s vital to have your sight checked regularly as this will show up any underlying eye problems such as glaucoma that may affect your night vision. Make an appointment with a Vistar Eye doctor today!
