I had found two professional articles on night driving and coatings, but was curious about experiences with the yellow/amber TV glasses.  Thank you.

@KellytheBelly  I think you are referring to the new "adaptive" lights, I didn't think many vehicles had these yet (BMW's, Audis & some VW's)*, actually I don't find the BMW's to be offensive.  It's these projector lenses, & really the angle they are hitting your eyes. On the Pickups the lamps are too high.  Many on the Jeeps are aftermarket & not street legal. Noted these newer lights illuminate the overhead signs on the freeway when these vehicles are behind me, where mine don't unless I have my brights on.

Yes they help. Many seniors used them from Aging Resource Centers. They are not garbage at all. Just not helpful for night driving though.

Conclusions: Our research found that the coexistence of these two disorders was more frequent in female rheumatologic patients with a SjS diagnosis with neurological manifestations and in neurologic patients for whom a SjS diagnosis was suspected. Similarly, NMOSD are less frequently found in SLE and very rarely incident in Mixed Connective Tissue Disease (MCTD) patients. These considerations should be taken into account in clinical experience of rheumatologists and neurologists, since early diagnosis of both conditions may influence the timing of immunosuppressive therapy and the prevention of systemic disabilities.

they do cut down on glare a bit.  I would simply try out a pair.  Get a pair, find a parking lot.  Drive with them on, during the day.  Then drive with them on just as the sun is setting.  And again, when it is fully dark.  I would get that sense of them, before going on the road at night.  One of the things they tend to well, is cut down on the glare from oncoming headlights.  And street lights.  So, I would carefully go out at night, drive around the block...a little longer, a little longer...and just see what they do.

Have more concern when driving in dark areas or at sunset. Have seen those wrap around $10 TV specials for years and know they must be garbage. Saw another version recently and wondered about them. Can those glasses over regular glasses help in certain diminished light situations?  Make dark roads more visible beyond the white line? My one friend who purchased 2 pair doesn't seem to know more than he sees beautiful rose colored mountains while driving in daylight.

Background: Several results support the hypothesis that a group of pathologies falling within the Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorders (NMOSD) diagnostic criteria may coexist with Connective Tissue Diseases (CTD) in patients with a high susceptibility to autoimmune conditions. However, the relationship between NMOSD and rheumatologic diseases deserves further investigations to clarify all clinical aspects of this coexistence. We designed a systematic review and a proportional meta-analysis to estimate the association between CTD and MNOSD, with the aim of helping to plan the best strategy to achieve the most significant public health benefit for these conditions.

Had this discussion with my eye Dr. a couple times.  Hard to believe headlamp regulations hadn't changed since the 1960's.

I have a Retinal Specialist in addition to an Ophthalmologist I visit annually.  Was curious about the $10-$20 TV and flyer glasses.  Have never noticed anyone wearing them so thought I would check the AARP community. Thank you.

Myopia progression by age

I had two sets as I battle seeing and driving at night. My first set was barely yellow, it had a very faint tint and worker wonderfully. They didn't change the color of objects, etc during the day and only had a yellow tint at night when there were lights from the front. However, I lost them and had to get another pair. This pair was so not the same. They were actually yellow and did not work at all. I got both pairs from an ophthalmologist, yet, one worked wonders and the other not at all

Tips for optimal night time driving vision:- Make sure eyes are examined regularly- Always wear an up-to-date prescription- Lenses worn should be clear with an AR coating- Ensure lenses are clean- Ensure windshield is clean- Ensure headlights are clean and properly aligned

There are two main reasons people look for night driving glasses. First, they want to enhance contrast and depth perception in dim light. Second, they want to reduce glare from oncoming headlights. But can lens color provide any solutions to nighttime driving vision problems?

A snippet: " Use anti-reflective coating on prescription eyeglasses. Anti-reflective coating on prescription eyeglasses minimizes reflections within the glasses themselves, reduces halo problems, and increases the transmittance of light through the lens to the eye. However, if a person does not usually wear prescription eyeglasses, Laramy-K Optical says that an AR coating on any other type of glasses may not be helpful for improving nighttime vision while driving."

Methods: We conducted a systematic review of the literature published until February 2023, searching in four databases: PubMed, Web of Science, EmBase, and OVID. Then, we conducted a random-effects proportional meta-analysis and assessed the risk of bias of the included studies using the Joanna Briggs Institute checklist.

Dr. Merrill J. Allen from the Forensic Aspects of Vision and Highway Safety who says that yellow lenses can “actually impair visual performances and retard glare recovery.”

Have you seen ads proclaiming that yellow-tint sunglasses will help you see better at night? Don't believe them. The Sunglass Association of America says that yellow-lens glasses sold for night driving only make you think you see better. The thought behind these glasses is that they might enhance contrast, helping you to distinguish objects in the dark. In reality, these hokey glasses actually cut down on the amount of light you can see. The smart choice is to use prescription glasses that have an anti-reflective coating, which keeps light from bouncing around inside your lenses. And as a bonus, these glasses have been shown to allow more light in.

No, they don't help. I recently read about this, forget where.  The idea of a softly tinted yellow lens reducing glare and promoting focus is easy to disprove.  If you are concerned about your night vision, just go see your optometrist.

This part says:  "Before trying night vision eyewear for driving, be sure to employ the tips provided in Shedding Some Light on Night Driving Challenges and Solutions, Part 1 as well as the additional tips offered by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.

Even with the possibility of a yellow/amber lens improving visibility for some people and in some conditions, the use of any tint once dusk hits are somewhat controversial. In fact, eye experts at Laramy-K Optical strongly discourage the use of yellow lenses for dusk and night driving because “ANY tint further reduces the amount of light transmitted to the eye.” They also quote –

This goal is achieved using almost any tint other than clear. However, the need to reduce glare from oncoming headlights usually applies in the dark when headlights appear even brighter by contrast. This type of glare is different than that generated by the sun. Thus, a polarized lens, which is by far the best for reducing sun glare, will not have the same benefit against headlights."

Yellow glasses help with anti -glare from snow. They do not help with night driving. They are worth getting and do work if you want to help with glare for reasons others than night driving and headlights. I like the goggle wrap around type that go over glasses.

Results: The literature search yielded an overall result of 3176 publications (272 from PubMed, 880 from Web of Science, 634 from EmBase and 1390 from OVID). Of these, 29 were included in this systematic review. Analyzing studies that recruited unselected patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) and Sjogren Syndrome (SjS), the pooled percentages of NMOSD overlapping were 0.6% (95% Confidence Interval [95% CI]: 0.1%-1.4%,) and 6.5% (95% CI: 4.7-8.6), respectively. Studies enrolling rheumatologic patients with nervous system symptoms involvement reported higher percentage of NMOSD (i.e., among SjS patients, a pooled percentage of 26.5%, 95% CI: 5.5-54.6%, was found). Similarly, recruiting patients with NMOSD, we found pooled percentages of SjS or SLE respectively of 7.0% and 3.5%.

@Tempest332 - Yes, my husband I were just discussing this. How it can be legal to have those bright-white lights! You have to stare at the line on the road just so you can get passed them. I have the press-pull manual setting for my brights, and not a fan of this auto-tuning mechanism deciding when brights should be on vs when they shouldn't be on.

Improving contrast and depth perception when driving at night can only be achieved during the few hours before and during dusk or at other times that are dim without being dark. A yellow/amber lens can brighten surroundings using the small amount of light available. However, these lenses require the presence of some light since benefits are lost when darkness fully descends. After dark, not much can help improve visibility.

They absolutely help.  I’m 65 years old & thought I was going to have to give up driving at night because I knew that I wasn’t seeing well.  Lights, especially headlights coming toward me, looked like they had a large halo around them. As did streetlights & if I was on a road larger than 2 lanes, I was really insecure about driving. And forget it if it was dark and raining both.  I actually had times where I pulled off to the side of the road, as frightening as that was for me, & waited for the rain to stop.  I saw the glasses advertised onTV & as they only cost $10, I figured I had nothing to lose & decided to try them. I am so very glad tha I did!! What a world of difference they made.  Oncoming lights are crisp & defined, the streetlighs are where they should be & im comfortable with driving at night now.  Even if it’s raining.  I have to wear regular glasses so I have to put the yellow ones on over top of them. That took a little getting used to, but it’s just wonderful.   The only thing that I won’t do is drive in heavy traffic at night.  But I do my best to avoid that all the time. I’m just a country girl and hate traffic, but at least I can feel safe driving. In the dark now.

You are one of only 2 who responded saying they had purchased some type of yellow glasses. I really appreciate your input.  Sounds as though your optomotrist/ophthalmologist was a sales person and not focused on your eyes.  Guess the supplier changed and your original lighter tint was not as easily found.  You deserved better service and should have been offered an alternative to match your first glasses.  Good luck.  I will stay away from the $10-$20 "As-Seen-On-TV" Offers.

I think the trick is to buy POLARIZED yellow lenses!  I have found that these absolutely help!  I had to pick up my husband and son last year at an airport about 50 miles from home.  I had to take the interstate, which I am not all that familiar with in that area, have a stigma that is corrected as much as it can be, and then it began to rain.  I felt like I had no idea where I was part of the time due to glare from multiple lights.  I thought I would have o give up driving at night and I wasn’t ready for that.  A few months later my sister introduced me to polarized yellow lenses which help reduce eye strain on sunny days and certainly crisp up things at night.  Now I never leave home without them!
