    PSA: For anyone experience this all the time at night, but especially when it’s rainy/wet. it is most likely their dipshit headlights… buuuuut you should also get an eye exam if you’ve got the opportunity to do so. I know that’s extremely out of reach for a lot of folks but if you can, you should.

    It’s extremely common for halos, streaky/blurry lights, etc. at night to be early or uncaught indicators of eyesight conditions like:

    • Astigmatism
    • Glaucoma
    • Cataracts
    • Keratoconus
    • Etc.
       

    The good thing is pretty much all of those are extremely treatable and not a big deal especially when caught early. There’s also the possibility that it’s literally none of that shit, but if it’s been more than a year, get your eyes checked anyway. You need to be able to see to aim at fascists.

    Again, there’s almost a 100% chance it’s the headlights and just rain and lights being shit at night, but, as has happened to two of my friends, you can also maybe find out it’s your eyes being weird shapes and they fix it real easy and it’s literally the difference between not being able to drive at night and being fine but occasionally struggling.

    Plus on the off chance it’s Glaucoma, you really wanna catch it early.
