Experts point out that the overuse of screens and decline in outdoor activity are some of the factors behind the rise of the condition which, if not corrected, increases the risk of blindness
I might have missed something, but who’s anti car? You’re ABSOLUTELY correct about screen time; but it is worth noting that the amount of prescriptions for night driving glasses are higher than they’ve been in history. I travel often and, even in my SUV, I can’t stand that large/superduty truck lights don’t point downward enough… It’s downright blinding at times. I can’t imagine what someone in a sedan is seeing. It’s not just passing them at night, you get hit through rear view mirrors if they’re behind you and at red lights, too, which can add up to multiple hours a week depending on your commute/schedule. The laws in the 90s were based on fluorescent brightness, and should probably be updated, that’s all. It’s not truck owners fault that the lights are designed like that.
The length anti car people will go to spread their propaganda…
It’s watching screens at close range for 10 hours a day.
Just think about how little of your time the average person spends crossing trucks at night. That’s not even 15 minutes a year.

People think blu-ish light is more blinding, it’s just not. But it’s different and getting blinded still sucks.
As for lens prescription, that’s because there’s never been this many old people.
Truck lights should be at the same height as other cars. It’s unnecessary to have them up there, except for aesthetics.
