"Enhancing Nighttime Vision: Tips for Driving Safely as You Age"
Nighttime driving can become more challenging as we age due to various eye conditions such as dry eye, presbyopia, cataracts, age-related macular degeneration, and glaucoma. Strategies for improving nighttime vision include regular eye exams, wearing prescription glasses or contact lenses if advised, following the 20/20/20 rule for screen time, and avoiding direct glare from headlights. It's important to partner with a physician for better nighttime driving and to take precautions such as cleaning windshields, using fog lamps, and wearing prescription glasses with an anti-reflection coating.
