When it is dark my eyes adjust and I'm able to see significantly better than others. One time, after 10 minutes or so I was able to see the entire park quite well while the significant other couldn't see anything at all, she was terrified. When adjusted to the dark sudden bright lights hurt like getting stabbed and my vision is blurred for a few minutes.

It isn't as bad but some bicycle lights hurt too. They use to have large dish like reflectors and produce somewhat diffused light. Now some are tiny dots that illuminate the entire street. A small percentage of these is just horrific. I've purchased an extra strong one normally pointed at the ground in front of me but I can bend it upwards and shine it into these peoples face ~ to return the favor.

If the FDA is suppose to they should regulate.
