Many people suffer from night driving problems or halos coming off the headlights. Between the glare of oncoming headlights and the deep shadows, upcoming curves and obstacles are harder to notice. There could be a variety of issues causing this to happen and might even be the onset of cataracts. If night driving is a problem it is better for you to get your vision checked out with an eye exam at Bowden Eye Associates. There are variety of solutions and aids are available for helping drivers with mild to moderate night driving difficulties.

It’s common for people to report seeing halos around lighting, especially at night. Sometimes, this isn’t a cause for any concern as it’s the eye’s response to bright lights. Although there is no direct treatment for halos this can be corrected when another issue is fixed, such as cataracts.

Astigmatism gives you sometimes clear vision and sometimes blurry vision at all distances. Astigmatism results from imperfections in the curvature of your eyeball. When you have astigmatism, the front surface of the eye or the lens, inside the eye, is curved differently in one direction than the other.

Not being able to see in the distance is usually related to myopia also known as nearsightedness. With near sightedness objects up close appear clear and in focus but distant objects are blurry and hazy. Nearsightedness is a common eye focusing disorder. It has been on the rise for several decades. It is estimated that by 2050, nearly half the people in the world will have nearsightedness.

This may also be known to many as reading vision. Around age 40 our eyes go through a change called presbyopia. Presbyopia affects the lens of the eye. The lens focuses light that enters the eye on the retina, or back of the eye. Contact our office for an appointment to check out what might be going on with your aging eyes. Also referred to as DLS or dysfunctional lens syndrome.
