Night Driving
For indivuals who spend prolonged periods behind the wheel of their car, DriveVision single vision and progressive lenses for driving can offer the visual support they need.
Common Problems of Night Driving
1. Reduced Visibility
Low light conditions make it harder to see road markings, pedestrians, obstacles, and hazards. Even with headlights, the range of visibility is limited compared to daytime.
2. Increased Glare
Oncoming headlights, streetlights, and reflective surfaces can create uncomfortable glare. This can momentarily blind or distract drivers, making it difficult to keep focus on the road.
3. Poor Contrast Perception
Objects blend into darker surroundings, making it harder to judge distances and detect movement. Reduced contrast sensitivity is especially challenging on poorly lit or rural roads.
4. Slower Reaction Times
Because the eyes struggle more in low light, the brain processes visual information more slowly. This can delay reaction times during unexpected events.
5. Eye Fatigue
Focusing in low-light conditions makes the eyes work harder, leading to dryness, strain, and faster fatigue—especially on long journeys.
6. Age-Related Vision Changes
Night driving becomes more challenging with age. Conditions like reduced pupil size, decreased contrast sensitivity, and early cataracts increase glare and decrease clarity.
7. Weather Amplifies Issues
Rain, fog, and wet roads greatly worsen nighttime visibility by scattering light, creating reflections, and reducing contrast even further.
8. Difficulty Judging Speed and Distance
With fewer visual cues and limited depth perception in the dark, estimating the speed of oncoming vehicles or the distance to objects becomes more difficult.
