Default 7eye or wileyx night riding glasses

Any opinions on night riding glasses. I have a pair or transitional wileyx's sunglasses. Good glasses! Have been doing alot of night riding lately and I notice I am catching a glare from oncoming headlights as well as from the rear tail lights. Im finding this extremely distracting as well as dangerous. I am seeing only what I can describe as the rays coming off the lights. Staying with traffic on these parkways in Newyork at 65-75 with idiots doing 3 lane crossovers only to get to the location no sooner than rest of us. need I empahsize how all your senses must be in tune 110 %. Any reccomendations?

I have the Panoptix(7eye) transition glasses and they work great at night, no glare.

I have Eye7's and they work great. However you may want to have an eye exam - early stage cataracts can cause what you describe and not only old people get them.

I've never owned Wileys, I didn't like the fit. I absolutely love my 7EYE with transition lenses though. they are prescription lenses also, no problems at night.

**DAMN, chromedome, that's the nicest Deluxe I've seen! Sweet ride Bro!**
