As you concentrate on reaching your destination, you\u2019re also aware of several light sources: oncoming headlights, traffic lights, streetlights, and reflective signs, to name a few.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For many drivers, these nighttime lights are helpful. But if you have uncorrected astigmatism, they might distract or even endanger you. They may look streaky, blurry, or haloed, and this effect <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/31378990\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">can seriously impact your night driving skills<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why does this happen? And how can you drive at night with astigmatism safely?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-people-with-astigmatism-see-lights\">How Do People With Astigmatism See Lights?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Astigmatism can distort lights in several ways, and instead of a clear image, you might see:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Streaky lights<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Haloed lights<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blurry lights<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Lights surrounded by a starburst pattern<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Extremely bright glare&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The images below depict how an eye without a refractive error would see lights, contrasted with how someone with astigmatism might see lights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To understand <a href=\"\/learn\/what-does-astigmatism-look-like\">how people with astigmatism see<\/a> lights, we need to remind ourselves what astigmatism is and how it works.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/what-is-astigmatism\">Astigmatism<\/a> refers to an irregular curvature of the eye\u2019s cornea. Rather than looking like a smooth dome that\u2019s been cut from a sphere, an astigmatic cornea might look like a football or an egg. (You can also have astigmatism in your eye\u2019s lens, which is known as lenticular astigmatism.)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shape of the cornea determines how light gets bent as it enters the eye. A cornea without astigmatism focuses light into a single point on the eye\u2019s retina. Due to its uneven curvature, a cornea with astigmatism bends the light so that it has multiple focal points inside the eye instead of just one.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The result? Annoyingly blurry eyesight. Unlike <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/what-is-myopia\">nearsightedness<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/what-is-farsightedness\">farsightedness<\/a>, astigmatism typically affects both your near and distance vision, so it\u2019s hard to escape the blur.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, it\u2019s important to note that astigmatism affects every eye differently. If you see lights like the distorted ones pictured above, it doesn\u2019t necessarily mean that you have astigmatism\u2014you might have a different kind of refractive error, or something else entirely. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/appointments\/eye-exams\/booking\">Schedule an eye exam<\/a> to get your vision checked!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/div><!-- .entry-content (split for inline block) -->\n\n<section class=\"wp-blocks__banner has-img white\">\n\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/smiling-optometrists-cta.jpg\" alt=\"Seeing distorted lights?\" loading=\"lazy\" \/>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"wp-blocks__banner-img\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Seeing distorted lights?<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<p>Our expert optometrists can help.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"wp-blocks-banner__cta-links\" style=\"flex-wrap:wrap;\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/appointments\/eye-exams\/booking\">Book an exam <svg id=\"aa495747-7767-4ea8-bc8e-3e09f9e2a480\" data-name=\"Layer 1\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 5.5 9.5\"><path d=\"M5.49,4.61a.87.87,0,0,1,0,.32.73.73,0,0,1-.2.35l-4,4A.75.75,0,0,1,.22,8.22L3.69,4.75.22,1.28A.75.75,0,0,1,1.28.22l4,4A.75.75,0,0,1,5.49,4.61Z\" style=\"fill:#1050D0;fill-rule:evenodd\"\/><\/svg>\n<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<div class=\"entry-content\"><!-- (reopen for inline block) -->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-does-astigmatism-affect-night-vision\">How Does Astigmatism Affect Night Vision?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At night, your pupils respond to the darkness by dilating to allow more light in. This wouldn\u2019t typically be a problem, but for an eye with astigmatism, a dilated pupil means that light has an even bigger area to enter once it passes through the uneven cornea.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As more light gets scattered into multiple focal points inside the eye, the visual issues caused by astigmatism\u2014blurry lights and all\u2014become more noticeable. And when you\u2019re night driving, that\u2019s the last thing you want.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-do-people-with-astigmatism-see-at-night\">What Do People With Astigmatism See at Night?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At night, people with astigmatism can experience the same visual distortions as they might during the day. But because the contrast between light sources and the surrounding darkness is so stark, and because the pupil of the eye is taking in more light at one time, the distortions seem much more pronounced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-about-that-viral-tweet-showing-how-astigmatism-looks-at-night\">What About That Viral Tweet Showing How Astigmatism Looks at Night?&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Back in 2019, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/UnusualFacts6\/status\/1109996250273902592\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">a tweet went viral<\/a> for sharing images of what night driving might look like to someone with astigmatism versus someone without it. Thousands of people shared the images\u2014and many began to suspect that they had undiagnosed astigmatism.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Then, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.buzzfeednews.com\/article\/laurenstrapagiel\/viral-tweet-astigmatism\">multiple<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/story\/news\/nation\/2019\/04\/03\/astigmatism-lights-comparison-likely-wont-diagnose-condition\/3351230002\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">journalists<\/a> consulted eye doctors and attempted to share the truth: There\u2019s no one image that can tell you what astigmatism looks like, or whether you have it. Only an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/optometrist-vs-ophthalmologist\">optometrist or ophthalmologist<\/a> can do that. The doctors pointed out that the image in the tweet could be explained by standard glare, or even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/dry-eyes\">dry eye<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The message we\u2019re trying to get across here is: Don\u2019t self-diagnose based on what you see or read online (yes, even here). See your eye doctor and get the treatment your eyes deserve.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tips-for-driving-at-night-with-astigmatism\">Tips for Driving at Night With Astigmatism&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Driving safely at night when you have astigmatism requires certain precautions. Consult the tips below, and remember: Never operate a vehicle if you think your vision will interfere with your ability to drive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tips-that-help-your-eyes\">Tips That Help Your Eyes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best way to address the blurry lights caused by astigmatism is\u2026to treat your astigmatism. Fortunately, there are many ways to do just that.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Wear prescription eyeglasses: <\/strong>After an <a href=\"\/learn\/optometrist\">optometrist<\/a> determines your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/how-to-read-eye-prescription\">eye prescription<\/a>, you can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/eyeglasses\">shop for glasses<\/a> that will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/glasses-for-astigmatism\">correct your astigmatism<\/a>. Make sure to look for lenses that have an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/anti-reflective-coating\">anti-reflective coating<\/a>. (Not to brag, but all of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/eyeglasses\/lenses\">lenses<\/a> do.) Together with your prescription, they should reduce the streaky, blurry effects around lights at night.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Note: We advise against purchasing glasses with yellow, tinted lenses marketed for night driving. These glasses <a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamaophthalmology\/article-abstract\/2740739\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have been studied<\/a> and do not seem to make night driving any safer\u2014in fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aao.org\/eye-health\/tips-prevention\/night-driving-glasses-may-hurt-not-help\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">they may make it harder to see<\/a>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Wear toric contact lenses: <\/strong>Designed specifically for eyes with astigmatism, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/contacts\/toric-astigmatism\">toric contact lenses<\/a> are a popular alternative to glasses. <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/25946099\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Research shows<\/a> that wearing this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/types-of-contact-lenses\">type of contact lens<\/a> can add a significant boost to your tactical driving skills if you have astigmatism. If you\u2019re <a href=\"\/learn\/what-are-toric-contact-lenses\">curious about toric lenses<\/a>, talk to your eye doctor to see if you\u2019re a good candidate for them.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Consider surgery or other treatments: <\/strong>Some people treat their astigmatism with surgery such as <a href=\"\/learn\/lasik-eye-surgery\">LASIK<\/a> or with ongoing treatments like orthokeratology\u2014contact lenses worn overnight that gradually reshape your cornea. These methods can be costly, however, and not everyone is eligible for them. Additionally, some people can still experience distortions such as halos and glare following refractive surgery.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Stock up on eye drops: <\/strong>If your eyes are <a href=\"\/learn\/eye-drops-for-dry-eyes\">prone to dryness<\/a>, you might also consider keeping a bottle of rewetting eye drops handy. (Contact lens-wearers should only purchase <a href=\"\/learn\/can-you-use-eye-drops-with-contacts\">eye drops that are approved<\/a> for use with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/contacts\">contacts<\/a>.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Clean your glasses regularly: <\/strong>Smudged or streaky glasses can dramatically reduce your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/learn\/visual-acuity\">visual acuity<\/a>. If you\u2019re going to drive while wearing glasses, always have a microfiber cloth (and maybe some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stage.warby.io\/accessories\/clean-my-lenses-kit-with-anti-fog-spray\">lens spray<\/a>) nearby to keep your lenses clean and clear.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tips-that-help-your-driving\">Tips That Help Your Driving<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to correcting your astigmatism, you can make small changes to your driving habits that help your night vision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Clean your windshield, mirrors, windows, and headlights: <\/strong>Just like your glasses lenses, these parts of your car can become smudged or foggy, adding to the visual problems caused by blurry lights. Cleaning them regularly will ensure a clearer view (and your car will thank you).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Adjust your rearview mirror to use the night setting: <\/strong>Consult your car\u2019s manual to learn how to engage this setting on your rearview mirror, which helps to cut the glare from other car\u2019s headlights.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Turn down the brightness of your car\u2019s displays: <\/strong>See if you can make the dashboard displays a little dimmer and less distracting.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Practice safe night-driving techniques: <\/strong>Astigmatism or no astigmatism, everyone should drive with extra caution at night. Don\u2019t stare directly into the oncoming headlights of other vehicles, make sure you\u2019re not drowsy or distracted, and stay aware of your surroundings. Allot some extra time for trips that might be quicker and easier during the day.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"treat-your-astigmatism-and-banish-blurry-lights\">Treat Your Astigmatism and Banish Blurry Lights<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Driving at night with astigmatism can be irritating and, frankly, frightening. What\u2019s more, it can put the driver and other people on the road at risk.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But having astigmatism doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t drive at night\u2014you just need to get the right vision correction and make sure you\u2019re driving carefully.
