What Causes Blindness Due To The Headlights At Night?
When driving at night the headlights of uncoming vehicles blind me to the point that I stop my car. My opthomologist cannot find anything wrong with my eyes; I'm 59 years old and my office wants me to now drive after dark and I'm afraid too. My opthalmologist won't help me out any suggestions?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having diminution of vision on exposure to bright lights from headlights of the vehicles.
These problems indicate glare and is because of opacities in the medium like early cataract or because of opacities in the cornea.
Hence you require eye examination by a ophthalmologist to look for these underlying causes and treatment accordingly.
Thank you
