I'm T2 on insulin and have been for about 12 years now. My diabetic control is good now, but hasn't been so in the past, hence diabetic retinopathy and CKD. I've had a lot of laser work on the back of both eyes, leaving some scarring. I've also had cataracts removed from both eyes. I'm short sighted so wear glasses for driving and distance. I recently bought a new pair of glasses from well known optician, with a filter in to stop headlights "flaring" so badly at night. I try to avoid driving in the dark if I possibly can, because my night sight isn't good in any case. Last night I had to drive home in the dark and found, if anything, the flaring seemed worse! I'm going to go back to the opticians today and have the glasses checked, but has anyone else had this problem, and have they managed to find a solution? Thanks for any help.
