I have great vision, but sometimes wear polarized sunglasses when driving especially at night to cut down on glare. You might want to try the same thing.

You wear your sunglasses at night, so you can see the light that's right before your eyes?

There are special polarized glasses for night driving. They are not blackened. When someone goes towards you with unregulated headlight which blinds you, it really helps.

The comment you're replying to is a reference to the song "Sunglasses at Night" by Corey Hart.

The danger with that is not seeing a deer that's about to bolt in front of you on the road. And in an urban environment, it's easy to not see a pedestrian who is wearing dark clothes.

The issue is contrast not total light levels. https://www.polarization.com/water/water.html

So, it can actually be much easier to see someone with dark clothing when I have sunglasses on.
