13. I tried them

but IMO everything just accrued a yellow tint and didn’t help with contrast. They were given to me by a friend so maybe they were just cheap yellow glasses advertised as night vision glasses.

Like you, I had cataract surgery in both eyes, but about 5 years ago. I recently asked my eye doc what can be done to improve my night vision. He said it’s very common for the artificial lenses implanted during cataract surgery to become cloudy over time and it’s an easy fix. He said they zap them with a laser and it clears them right up. The other thing is if distance vision is poor then new glasses with an updated prescription would help sharpen contrast. Unfortunately for me, my lenses are not cloudy and I don’t need distance glasses so I’ve had to stop driving in the dark for the safety of others. I don’t know how I could live with myself if I hit someone and a couple of near misses have sufficiently scared me to give it up. Hopefully these solutions may work for you!
