   HA! Over the years, whenever I would feel that I can't focus     
   properly (distance or closeup) I do some eye exercises that     
   the campus doctor recommended for me when I was in university.     
   I'm the only relative among 14 cousins, and now 8 younger 2nd     
   cousins, that doesn't need reading glasses. My aunts, uncles,     
   and members of my own family started to need glasses in their     
   30s.  This can't be a magic gene.  I am convinced that the     
   exercises have maintained my good eyesight.

   I've never tried the clear blu-blockers for night driving.     
   Normally, there is a bit of glare from oncoming headlights.     
   The glasses are polarized, so the glare may reduce that.   
      
   But a micro-pitted windshield on an older vehicle can also     
   contribute to glare.   
      
   I'm looking to get another pair so that I don't have to lug     
   the single pair between my shop and home. They are an     
   inexpensive solution (my pair were about $35 after shipping)     
   for dry eyes from extended LCD screen viewing (even for     
   evening TV) and you get your sleep back.
