I've noticed glare from bright lights (streetlamps and headlights) at night a lot lately. I always wear either contacts or glasses, but after some trouble with my contacts lately I'm usually just wearing glasses all the time now (My eyes are -6 and -3.5). I don't see anything weird or new during the day or indoors at night. Only outside when it's dark.
Do others who wear eye glasses see a lot of glare at night? I don't think I got glare coating on my eyeglass lenses, but I can't remember. I did go in for a checkup about 2 weeks ago because of contact lens irritation. I have a follow-up full exam in 2 weeks. Other than lens overwear, nothing abnormal was documented when I went in. I have extremely dry eyes and I use artificial tear drops a lot during the day and a gel at night, while sleeping.
I really can't tell if I am just really "tuned in" to glare because of my recent eye irritation, or if this is something new. Does anyone else see a lot of glare with eyeglasses? Is that common?
Oh, 26yo female; otherwise in great health and I have yearly eye MD checkups. Thanks!
