Trouble Seeing At Night? Use These Tips For Safe Driving

 

You'll go through many changes as you grow older. One thing many people experience as they age is a decline in vision. Many of these problems make driving more challenging and stressful.

Here are some tips on safe driving for those having trouble seeing at night:

●        Plan your trips carefully. Try to stick to roads you know, and stay off dark highways.

●        Try to avoid high-risk spots like ramps, and try to only turn left where there are traffic lights.

●        Allow extra driving time in bad conditions.

●        Don't drive if you are very tired, or when it is raining.

●        Leave at least two car lengths between you and the next driver, especially in bad weather or on highways.

●        Visit your eye doctor regularly for full exams. Keep your glasses and/or contact prescriptions up to date.

●        Keep your headlights and windshield clean, and make sure your wipers are in good condition.

●        Consider upgrading to a car with more safety features. Some will beep when you get close to another car. Others offer blind-spot alerts.

●        Consider transitional and/or polarized lenses
