Planning your Thanksgiving road trips? Berlin Eyecare knows those long road trips can be a challenge in both day and night!
Long drives demand attention, but eye fatigue and cognitive load can impact your visibility. During the day, bright sunlight and glare can make it difficult to see clearly, whether objects are near or far. Glare can also distract you, making it harder to focus on the road for those crucial seconds.
At night, the risks are even greater. Drivers often experience halos, starbursts, or ghosting, which can lower confidence and impair vision. At night, factors like:
Blurry vision from night myopia (difficulty seeing at night)
Glare from streetlights
Reduced contrast sensitivity
Decreased visual acuity
can all increase the likelihood of accident
Before you start that family road trip, schedule your eye exam to make sure your vision and glasses are as up to date for the traffic ahead!
