I have difficulty seeing at night, especially while driving.
NOT-te — two syllables, double 't'. 'Guidando' — gwi-DAN-do.
Report night vision problems to an optician or ophthalmologist. Night vision difficulties while driving require careful assessment.
'Difficoltà a vedere di notte' = difficulty seeing at night. 'Visione notturna' = night vision. 'Abbagliamento' = glare (from oncoming headlights). 'Aloni attorno alle luci' = halos around lights. Causes: uncorrected refractive error (especially astigmatism), early cataract, vitamin A deficiency, retinitis pigmentosa. An anti-reflective coating on glasses significantly improves night driving.
Vedo gli aloni attorno ai fari delle macchine.
I see halos around car headlights.
Halos around lights — can indicate cataract or insufficient correction of astigmatism
Di notte abbaglio facilmente con le luci in arrivo.
I am easily dazzled by oncoming lights at night.
Light sensitivity — may benefit from anti-reflective coating or yellow-tinted lenses
La mia patente richiede la correzione per guidare.
My driving licence requires correction for driving.
If required on the licence, you must always wear glasses/lenses while driving in Italy
Night driving in Italy requires specific minimum visual standards — tested at the 'motorizzazione civile' (DVLA equivalent) when obtaining or renewing a driving licence. If night vision problems develop, the ophthalmologist must update the driving licence with any restrictions. Anti-reflective coatings on glasses are particularly important in Italy given the prevalence of bright LED headlights on modern vehicles. Italy's 'Codice della Strada' (Highway Code) requires drivers who need corrective lenses to always wear them.
