Window tinting question

[dgage]

Tint products are not equal. I’ve put 3M Crystalline on my car including an almost invisible tint onto the windshield and it doesn’t affect the optics or vision. But boy does it block infrared. Amazing how much cooler the car is in the summer and not really cold in the winter since it blocks heat transfer in both directions.

Glare at night can be reduced with an anti reflective coating on your glasses. Make sure your glasses are clean and your windshield as well. Beyond that cataract extraction. Tinted lenses reduces incoming light but also lowers visual acuity so as a nearly 40 year experience optician I never recommend any tint for night driving.

If your over 50 get those cataracts taken care of. You will see a new and brighter world.

Thanks! I already have an antireflective coating on my glasses, but it doesn't seem to help - or certainly not help enough. I am scheduled for cataract surgery in June.

Yes, I'm 67 and that's what I am told.
