In the column by Mary Andrews (Courier-Herald, April 20), she describes night driving experiences but not the cures so much, and references more the giving up driving.

Having had cataract surgery and several years later another shot at lasers, I still drive and, at 75, still have some of the problems with “high lights.”  An external condition not spoken of is that car lights are stationary and when an oncoming car is coming over a slight rise, it can seem like they turned on their bright lights, since the light will be focused higher because of the rise in the road.

I’m not sure why some auto manufacturers think it’s necessary to have four headlights instead of two, but I’ve found that using yellow tinted glasses (like sunglasses) can filter out the brighter blue hue of light. They also make seeing in in dark and in fog much easier, filtering out some of the ambient light otherwise seen through moisture/mist or fog. I highly recommend people having trouble night driving get these tinted glasses.  It will take the fear out of driving at night which many seniors have. There are any number of makers of these glasses and are used by many of us. I wish the writer would have suggested such.
