How do I see better when driving at night?
I wear contacts, but when I’m driving at night, I often have trouble with depth perception and lights look like starbursts. What can I do to improve my night vision while driving?

Even people with good vision don’t always see well at night, but you have a few options. To see when better when driving at night:
- Dim your dashboard lights, which can limit distractions.
- Clean your mirrors and windows to reduce smudges, streaks, and glare.
- Don’t look directly into oncoming headlights.
- Use your high beams when appropriate (no other cars are around).
- Drive slowly.
- Use the dimming feature on your rearview mirror.
- Make sure your windshield wipers are in good shape and that you have plenty of windshield wiper fluid.
