For a while, I assumed I was just having vision troubles as I get older. Then I started thinking that the roads around here are just poorly graded so that head

  Me too! I was thinking maybe my eyes had just degraded immensely from age 16 to 30

  As someone who got LASIK surgery in my mid-20's, I want to double-underline this comment. As a fun fact for anyone not in the know, at least for the procedure I had, it is normal to have stronger halo effects in your vision basically for life. Don't get me wrong, the tradeoff is amazing and I don't regret it in the slightest, but for those who may not know, stronger halo effects means you see sources of light notably brighter than they'd otherwise be. If you've ever had your pupils dilated at the doctors, it's basically that at about 60% strength if you aren't in daylight. And this has made driving at night for me an exercise in being blinded continuously by cars in the opposing lanes. At several points in my life I have now had to start wearing fucking sunglasses when I drive at night because otherwise, while I can see the headlights, I can't see anything the hell else including, but not limited to, retroreflectors, parked cars, and PEOPLE. All because every asshole with a newer car has lights bright enough that they can spot planes when ascending a hill.
