Im looking around for night driving glasses. I get that the tradition al yellow tinted glasses dont really work.
But i was wearing my prizms today and as it got darker i noticed that the prizm maintained contrast but mine blocked too much light for night time driving.

Are there any prizms that allow most light in that would work for night driving glasses?

thanks in advance

Curious on the use case for snow use. Online I’ve seen it suggested that polarized isn’t best if you want to spot ice that could cause you to slip.
