In most cases, if something seems to be too good to be true, it probably is. There is no scientific evidence that yellow-tinted glasses do anything to improve nighttime visibility. In fact, this 2019
study
concluded that these glasses actually slow down visual reflexes, making night vision slightly worse! If you’re having trouble seeing when you drive at night, there are a few things you can do to help:

  • Wipe off your headlights. Dirt or grime on your car’s headlights can make them appear dimmer or seem less effective.
  • Replace your windshield wipers. Old windshield wipers can leave behind smudges that may make it harder to see.

  • Keep your glasses prescription up-to-date with a yearly eye exam. The best way to protect yourself while driving at night is simply to exercise caution and make sure you have great
