It's so bad I am about to go to the optometrist to see if my eyes are just getting old.

Its not your eyes getting old, it's just that are just more inconsiderate assholes out there now, enabled by newer car models that have a uncomfortably bright high-beams with the worst color temperature for night vision (for both the drivers and their victims).

I wonder if Teslas should be recalled too: all of them are seem too bright, particularly Model Ys.

I have often wondered if my eyes have become more sensitive to car headlights since covid, but it seems I'm not alone in this feeling. I frequently wear glasses with a blue light protective coating while driving on busy roads at night. Interestingly, I find that I don’t need them when the road is empty or when it’s a bright night.
