    Night driving glasses?

    Have had cataract operation, very quick and the result amazing, the only operation that turns the clock back visually. Don't bother with night driving glasses, they do not work, have tried them.

    LED bulbs

    And dazzle on coming drivers made worse on undulating roads. I believe there is an enquiry going on about ultra bright lights and about time too. In late 1970s to early 1990s I use do around 30/35K miles a year covering the whole country and never had problem with standard lights.
