    I also have night blindness. DH bought me a pair of yellow glasses. They help, but have cataracts. In time will need them taken care of.

    That is sometimes a problem.

    I also think older eyes don't adapt as well to changes of light.

    I have the same problems.

    Also, driving at night when it's raining
    My DH is a truck driver. He wears his sun glasses to see better in heavy rain.

    I have had implants in both eyes and had cataracts removed and I still have difficulty with bright lights either at night or during the day. And, these new (purple-blue) headlights are worse than the old ones.

    same here too, I think as you get older our eyes don't adjust as quickly as they did , I have trouble looking up to TV from quilting and the transition takes longer than it did.
