Night Driving - Essilor Anti-Glare Lenses - The Richard Tildesley Practice

Night Driving – See clearly, drive safely this winter

Good vision is crucial to safe winter driving. With Essilor RoadPilot and RoadPilot Varilux Lenses for night driving, paired with Crizal Drive anti-reflective coating, you can cut glare the from low sun and headlights.

Now that the evenings are drawing in, we spend more time driving in low, bright sunshine, or in the dark. For many of us, this causes problems with reflections and glare on our glasses from streetlights, road signs and especially headlights. This can lead to discomfort and lower visual acuity, and even a loss of confidence or safety when driving at night. If so, you are not alone as an estimated 17 million drivers in the UK struggle to see at night.

As an Essilor Varilux specialist supplier in Chichester, the Richard Tildesley Practice can offer a range of single vision and varifocal lenses that have been developed specifically to provide a solution to night time driving.
