How Can Photophobia At Night Be Treated?

Hi, I m concerned about someone s nighttime driving vision. The only problem is that he sees oncoming headlights as all using high beams . This irritates him. The lights seem normal to me. Otherwise, his driving is fine. I m guessing this is age-related (72). Is there medication for this?

Hello,

Ant glare specs to be used to check glaring rays at night to make night driving comfortable and safe.

It is uncomfortable when others use high beam at night they should use deeper since it is not in our control it is better to use anti-glare specs.

There is no medication only to avoid much night driving. To some extent, it is to be related to age.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
