Night driving, lights, speed and stopping distances

I attended a talk by an optician on driving glasses.

He recommended polarised sun glasses for use in bright sun & Ziess driving glasses for night time.

I bought a pair of Ziess glasses & they definitely do reduce the glare from oncoming heights.

+1 for Zeiss DriveSafe lenses. I’ve used numerous lenses and found DriveSafe the best. They’re a lot better than regular anti-glare lenses.

The only lenses that come close are Hoya EnRoute. Nothing else is in the DriveSafe league.

It was the latter I had in my head, you will find a yellow tint to them if you look carefully...

Hoya has two driving lenses: EnRoute and EnRoute Pro. I had a pair of glasses with EnRoute lenses—they had a yellow tint, but it was extremely subtle. I found EnRoute lenses better than regular anti-glare lenses and almost as good as Zeiss DriveSafe.

Hoya claims its EnRoute Pro lenses have even more glare reduction for improved night driving, but I haven’t tried them. Their yellow looks less subtle but should increase contrast.
