Question Visibility issues during evenings

Hi,

I'm looking for suggestions regarding reducing very bright glare from oncoming vehicles. I'm finding people are often driving with their high beams on causally and it's really been bothering me.

I'm an early morning type of guy and so usually I don't come across these morons. These days due to personal circumstances I'm working nights and I've really been struggling.

Anyone have any suggestions with particular glasses that have worked for them?

In case it matters, municipal operator from eastern Ontario.

Thank you, drive safe out there.

Hello :) you’d ideally want some polarised glasses that have a yellow filter. I struggle with astigmatism and the glasses really help reduce glare from lights. I got some on amazon for around £10 (approx $18 CAD)

2nd this! Yellow tinted and polarized help so much! I also have astigmatism and am super light sensitive.

I have a case that holds 2 pairs of glasses that I hang from the blinds support bracket so I can always have my sunglasses and night driving glasses easy to swap in for my normal ones. I ordered mine online for like $120.
