Driving at night
I’ve noticed over past year driving home at night on the motorway is more difficult - especially in the darker places where there are no overhead lights. More glare from other cars and harder to see the outlines of the lanes.
Fine in daylight and driving in city/town areas which are well-lit.
Have never had optic neuritis and my visual evoked potentials are normal.
Sound familiar to anyone else? Wondering if this is just getting older / short sighted or if it is MS related?
Not sure 🤷♀️ if it is related to MS, but I try avoiding driving in the dark because I find it harder to judge distance in the dark. Especially motorway driving. I have had my eyes tested several times and I wear glasses for distance. Can you take a different route? Looking forward to lighter evenings 👍. All the best.
The dazzling car lights yes. They can almost be painful. Even people without ms are saying the new led lights can blind them temporarily. I bought myself some glasses for driving at night. They have a color tint in them and it reduced the glare so my eye dont hurt and I dont get dazzled. Not sure that would help for seeing the edge of the road, though with less of the light affecting your eyes maybe the edges will be clear to see.
