Driving requires full attention. When you have vision problems, then you need glasses to correct your vision and then drive. Driving without your vision corrected can be dangerous not just for you but for others on the road as well. You should wear glasses and have corrected vision to drive safely.

For people with nearsightedness, it is troublesome for them to wear their regular reading glasses. Reading glasses only aid your near vision. While wearing these glasses you cannot see far off. It is very dangerous for you to drive wearing your reading glasses. Your far-seeing vision is hindered. However, without your reading glasses, you cannot see the dashboard. You cannot see the instructions of the GPS navigation system, or check your speed on the odometer or check your fuel tank. You need both your vision to work properly. You need your near vision as much as you need your far vision while driving.

Driving Glasses for Hyperopia

Reading glasses are mostly recommended to people with hyperopia. If you drive often, then you should get bifocal glasses with non-prescription far viewing vision. These bifocal glasses have prescription only on the reading section of the lenses. The upper part is non-prescription glasses. These glasses will not hinder your far vision and also help you in seeing the near distance. You will be able to drive smoothly and safely.

You can use these glasses for doing other activities. You will not need to remove your glasses often to see clearly. You can keep wearing your glasses without hindering your view.

You can also use varifocal glasses which are an improved version of bifocal glasses. Varifocal glasses help in seeing near, far and normal distance with much more comfort than bifocal glasses.

With bifocal glasses, you need to see through the lower part of the glasses to read clearly. When you need to read the text on a computer screen, you cannot see clearly without tilting your neck. Bifocal glasses are designed in such a way that you need to look down to see near the distance.

Varifocal glasses on the other hand are designed in a way that does not require much adjustment when you are driving, reading or working on a computer. You do not have to tilt your neck, adjust your specs to see clearly.

You can also use varifocal glasses with no prescription on the far-seeing part. These glasses will help you in seeing clearly at all distances.

More Comfortable vision

To make your vision more comfortable while driving, you can get an anti-glare coating on your glasses. Glass, sudden flashes from bright lights, headlights can distract you. Whether it is day or night, when your eyes are suddenly flashed with bright lights, you are blinded for a few seconds. And only a few seconds are needed for some mishaps to happen on the road. Anti-glare glasses are perfect to wear while driving whether it is day or night.

If you mostly work on computers, then you can get blue light blocking glasses in varifocal lenses. Blue light blocking lenses are also good in blocking glasses and bright lights. These lenses will avoid any sudden light and keep you safe while driving.

Transition glasses will be even better for driving, reading, or working on computers. These glasses give you the most comfortable vision. These glasses change according to light or brightness. You can drive safely wearing these glasses both at night and at daytimes. Transition lenses on varifocal glasses make the most comfortable glasses albeit pricey but cost-effective. Try out these glasses and know for yourself.
