Difficulty seeing while driving at night, especially with oncoming vehicle headlights, could be attributed to a few things like glare or changes in vision that come with age. Night blindness, or nyctalopia, is a common cause and could be due to several conditions like cataracts, vitamin A deficiency, or even certain medications. First, you should schedule an eye examination with an optometrist or ophthalmologist to assess your overall eye health and determine if there are any specific issues like cataracts, glaucoma, or retinitis pigmentosa that might be affecting your night vision. If you’re also experiencing other vision problems during daytime, it’s definitely an important indicator that professional evaluation is necessary. Additionally, make sure that your driving lights and the windshield of your scooty are clean, which can help reduce glare and improve visibility. Reducing cabin light, avoiding looking directly at headlights, and slowing down can also greatly benefit your situation. It’s worth mentioning that consistent wearing of anti-glare eyeglasses during night driving might also help. Please, ensure that any eyeglasses or lenses you have are up-to-date with your current prescription. In terms of general health, maintaining a diet rich in vitamin A, like carrots and leafy greens, can support eye health. Use over-the-counter eye drops judiciously if you have dry eyes, as dryness can compound visibility issues. Avoid over-the-counter medications that might decrease vision if you’re advised against them. Consistently protect your eyes from harsh sunlight exposure during the day with UV-protecting sunglasses. If your vision problems persist despite these adjustments, it might be indicative of an underlying condition that requires medical treatment, so please don’t delay professional evaluation.
