Re: night rain
Nicole,
Other ocular problems that can intensify glare are dirty contacts/contact
lens overwear, congenital cataracts, and corneal scarring. But it sounds
like your only problem is light/dark adaptation speed. Congenital stationary
night blindness (which is unlikely because you have no problem without the
rain) can cause light/dark adaptation problems as well as retinitis
pigmentosa, but both of these conditions are rare. As mentioned elsewhere in
this thread, certain medications can also interfere with L/D adaptation. The
old RAF trick of eating carrots has some merit, because it boosts the amount
of certain pigments available to the retina/macula allowing it to recover
faster. A good multivitamin may help if you have any dietary deficiencies.
After ruling out dirty/worn wipers, dirty/filmy windshield, and pitted
windshield, one trick that can help is to lower the intensity of your dash
lights as far as you can and still see them adequately. This will allow
slightly better light/dark adaptation. Another is to use low beams only in
the rain.
