If you wear prescription glasses, get regular checkups to keep your eyeglasses up-to-date.
Consider getting an anti-glare or anti-reflective coating on your eyeglasses, or buying anti-glare blue light glasses.
Wipe your glasses before driving because smudges can amplify glare.
Keep your windshield clean: Streaks and dust on the windscreen can amplify glare, yet drivers often forget to do this. Clean the windshield before every drive from inside and out. If your windshield gets cracked, replace it immediately.
Keep your windshield wipers in working condition -you never know when it will rain. Make sure that the tank for the window cleaning solution is full before you set out.
It’s easier to see when the road ahead of you is lit well. Keep your headlights clean and working.
Avoid staring at oncoming headlights while driving. Since eyes can be dazzled by the sudden brightness,in this case look towards your side of the road and slow down.
Take short breaks when driving long distances. It’s recommended to take a minimum of 15 minutes break when driving for two hours. Two hours is the maximum limit for driving continuously. When you take a break, change your position -get out of the car or go for a walk.
Keep dashboard lights dim to reduce eye strain.
If you sense your eyesight deteriorating, or symptoms of eye-strain, call us for an eye test.
