Those bright headlights aren’t just annoying—they can actually be a sign your eyes need some attention 👀
If you’re noticing starbursts, halos, or glare at night, it could be linked to:
• Dry eyes
• Cataracts
• Previous LASIK/PRK
• Uncorrected refractive error like astigmatism
• Glaucoma
• Corneal disease
• Coating defects and/or scratches on your lenses
Solutions:
✅Step 1: Get an eye exam
If you notice sudden changes in your vision or if the starbursts interfere with your ability to drive safely.
✅Step 2: Treatment options include updated glasses with anti-reflective coatings, contact lenses, or treatments for underlying eye conditions like cataracts.
✅Step 3: Let Transport Canada know how much you’re bothered by the newer headlights. Their survey closes tonight, Monday April 20th (link in stories)
Night driving should feel safe and comfortable—not stressful.
If headlights are starting to look like fireworks 🎆, it’s a good idea to book an eye exam and get things checked out.
📅 Your vision matters—especially after dark.
