A 2019 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association Ophthalmology (JAMA Ophthalmology), using a driving simulator with simulated headlight glare, found sufficient evidence to show that wearing yellow-tinted spectacles when driving at night does not improve the chances of detecting a pedestrian on the road.
Instead, the data showed that wearing yellow-lens glasses may slightly worsen performance.
Interestingly most participants in the study expressed the impression of improved/brighter vision with the yellow-lens glasses even though it did not improve actual performance.
Concern is raised that the potential negative effect of this false sense of security is that the users may drive less cautiously when wearing those glasses than they would otherwise.
These findings support Optometrists advising against the wearing of such yellow tinted night-driving spectacles.
