Hello Charles!

HA! Over the years, whenever I would feel that I can't focus  
properly (distance or closeup) I do some eye exercises that  
the campus doctor recommended for me when I was in university.  
I'm the only relative among 14 cousins, and now 8 younger 2nd  
cousins, that doesn't need reading glasses. My aunts, uncles,  
and members of my own family started to need glasses in their  
30s.  This can't be a magic gene.  I am convinced that the  
exercises have maintained my good eyesight.

I've never tried the clear blu-blockers for night driving.  
Normally, there is a bit of glare from oncoming headlights.  
The glasses are polarized, so the glare may reduce that.

But a micro-pitted windshield on an older vehicle can also  
contribute to glare.

I'm looking to get another pair so that I don't have to lug  
the single pair between my shop and home. They are an  
inexpensive solution (my pair were about $35 after shipping)  
for dry eyes from extended LCD screen viewing (even for  
evening TV) and you get your sleep back.
