I struggle with car headlights whilst driving at night.

Patient X came into the practice as they had been struggling with glare from oncoming traffic whilst driving at night. They had an appointment with the Optometrist who said they would benefit from a single vision distance pair of spectacles.

Solution

After the appointment with the Optometrist, they saw one of our Dispensing Opticians. Patient X told them that they were getting dazzled regularly by car headlights and it had stopped them venturing out at night. The Dispensing Optician recommended a pair of EnRoute Pro lenses. These are manufactured by Hoya who are based in Wrexham.

What is an EnRoute Pro Lens?

The EnRoute Pro combines the properties of a high-definition treatment and an anti-reflective coating called a Glare Filter. This noticeably reduces glare by cutting high-energy visible light from LED and Xenon headlights of oncoming traffic, streetlights and on-board equipment. It also significantly minimises distracting reflections while improving contrast and brightness perception in low-light conditions. Patient X decided the lenses would be the best solution for them.

Outcome

When the lenses arrived, we called Patient X, and they booked an appointment with the Dispensing Optician. When they collected their new glasses, they couldn’t wait to get out on the road again. The Patient was very happy with the clarity of the lenses and the anti-reflective coating. The Patient called the practice a few days later to express their gratitude as they now felt confident driving at night again.
