Hi Gizmo. I am 80 and had this problem at 70. Discussed with my optician who referred me for an operation to remove my cataract filled lenses. The natural lenses were replaced by lenses calculated to provide perfect long range vision. I wear varifocal glasses with clear upper parts and correction for near sight in the lower section. I now have no qualms about night driving. I can look directly at oncomming traffic without suffering from light scatter. I recommend checking to find out if this could be a way to help in your case. Appologies for the thread drift.


Thanks for that insight (no pun intended!). My wife (in her 60's) is waiting for a cataract operation for exactly that reason. She is very reluctant to drive at night now. I don't have any "fogging" issues but maybe depth of field. The less light the narrow the DoF so more light the better.
