"Night blindness"?

[DMNTD:Me]

Anyone else have issues riding at night and dealing with oncoming cars especially if it's raining?
What do you do to cope? BTW...my vision is bang on in all other circumstances but I've always had this issue.

[Colapop]

Yep. I get it right on dusk. Night isn't too bad. But then I wear glasses.

[Grahameeboy]

I used to but gained lots of confidence doing Woodcocks at night and really enjoyed it....
With rain I just focus on the rain drops and dodge them...

[madandy]

The glare from the headlights piercing through the rain drops on yer visor and the fact our eyes are in night mode to allow maximum light in has given me issues in the past too, Chris.
I find a rainex type product on my visor helps minimise the rain drops magnifying the oncoming lights.
I also ride in the left wheel track and attempt to avert my focus from the oncoming glowing balls, keep my gaze up above the nearest threat [which would have grabbed yer attention by now if it were a threat] trying to scan well ahead and check my position on the road and general driections against the painted white line to the left - the shoulder line.
Been some foul weather between here & up NORF lately huh?!

Could it be small scrashes on the visor showing up? Maby try a new/different visor?

[nadroj]

Take ya sunnies & tinted visor off! (pt)

Seriously, use a visor product like rainex or pledge furniture polish & turn your head sideways to blow the rain bubbles off your visor occasionally.

Try not the stare at the headlights and keep an eye on the left side white line if the road has them. Carefull though this can catch you out on tight corners that have a road going off them. Oh and slow down.

I find I sometimes get a ghost imaging due to the reflection of oncoming traffic lights on my glasses at night as well.

[DMNTD:Me]

My visors are both mint and despite the fact that I do use a certain product so that the rain does bead off I still have issues...yeah yeah I know
Btw...it's still bad even if it's not raining etc.
Anything an ophthalmologist could help me with?

I would go in for an eye check, it is not much cash for pace of mind.

[Colapop]

I reckon get your peepers checked anyway. Maybe contacts are the go? I know that your (everyones) eyes change as they get older.

Yep I will be getting myself an eye check however I've always had this issue....it is not a new thing however since I've been doing the 400km commute to work recently it's really come to light.

Go faster and the rain will fly off your visor. And the oncoming cars won't be oncoming for quite as long.

[MyGSXF:Me]

Yep.. night time & rain together is a real prick!

I use pledge on the outside of the visor, helps rain to run off.. catcrap or similar on the inside of the visor, to stop fogging.. I ride in the left hand wheeltrack, slow down, ride like a nana & don't stare at the large yellow orbs glowing & looming up in front of me..

Mostly where ever possible.. I simply avoid situations like that.. unless absolutely necessary
