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
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:
Keep your windshield clean. A smudged or dirty windshield can amplify nighttime glare from headlights or streetlamps.
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.
Ask your eye doctor about getting an anti-reflective coating for your glasses.
Keep your glasses prescription up-to-date with a yearly eye exam.
