Izon Glasses

[conniecat]

Has anyone heard anything about Izon glasses.  I have trouble with night driving even after cataract surgery.  Do they help?  Do they reduce glare, halos and starburst?

It glare at night comes from large pupils then alphagan is a safer drop to try than pilocarpine which can cause pain and even retinal detachment.

I got a pair of iZon glasses.  They are wonderful for day but do not help night vision at all.  In fact, I think they make it worse.  For day time vision they are crystal clear with no glare.

I want help with night driving.  Anyone know about pilocarpine drops for night driving?

I have no personal experience in that regard

Do the Izon glasses help with glare, halos and starburst?

Thank You

I wear a pair. They are expensive. They require expert fitting. Having said that I see best with that pair and they are superior to regular progressives. (for most people, remember different strokes for different folks)
