Blinded by the lights - night time driving

[Desperado40]

Is it me or has something happened recently - whenever I drive at night, I am literally blinded by the lights coming from the other drivers cars. I can't figure out if this is because:
A) some newer car models have brighter lights
B) drivers forget to switch the full beam when passing
C) both
Anyone else noticed this?

Such as it is....

your eves are getting older

thats dismissive.

If you read the thread done posters have even gone to get their eyes checked and they have good vision.

It is these newer brighter lights plus height of cars.

What are you talking about? This affects people of all ages including those with perfect eyesight.

Following on from this thread, my optician recommended Cocoons which fit over your glasses. They are expensive but less expensive than potentially damaging car etc.

Has anyone tried these or am I wasting money

I had an anti-blue-light coating on one pair which I think helped, but I lost them. I'm considering asking them to put a coating on my current pair in desperation to see if it makes any difference.

I had to drive home in the dark for the first time last week and it was horrible.

Thanks

The Cocoon overlays were recommended by the optician I visited but I'm having my doubts
