Mate of mine had laser eye surgery a few years ago to correct his bad long sightedness, and they oppsed it up!  :o  >:(

He can't drive at night as oncoming headlights tend to 'starburst' which temporarily blinds him!  :(

Thanks ronnyd, for the info,although I don't have a big problem with night vision,I don't see why any of us should have to put up with others selfish and inconsiderate attitudes.I will certainly give the treated specs a shot :y

Don't think my eyes are what they used to be. Just been to pick up my lad from his girlfriends, about thirty mile round trip. I went the same twisty country lane way that I go every day, only it was dark and unlit. I know the road well so thought I was making fair progress, but the constant headlights up my arse were telling me different. I never used to be bothered by bright lights all around me, but now I find them distracting. Getting old. :(

Being a Chevrolet I'm sure the headlights are perfectly adequate for Arizona freeways. ::) ::) ::)

That is a very different matter indeed!............... ;) ;)

Question, in the early days of motoring, only sidelights were needed at night in town or other lit up area's, when did it change? why do we use high power lighting in a lit up environment, and our side lights, or new day time running lights are much brighter than sidelights of old.................... :-\ :-\ ;)

I thought that was a side effect of laser eye surgery anyway?

I've history of glaucoma on both sides of the family, which has the potential to be untreatable following laser surgery :'(

I could live without an arm/leg/foot/kidney/bollock/appendix * but would rather not chance buggering my eyes up...
