We were leaving my brother’s place around 9:30 at night. Country road, no streetlights, the usual forty-minute drive home.

I started the truck, and my wife said — real casual — “You want me to drive tonight, hon?” She wasn’t even looking at me. Just buckling her seatbelt like she’d asked about the radio.

I handed her the keys. And here’s what I hadn’t told her — hadn’t really told myself.

Stoplights bled into halos. Road signs hit me like a camera flash. I told myself it was the windshield — cleaned it twice, didn’t help. I blamed everybody’s new LED headlights. Half true. Not the whole story.

The whole story: my eyes were getting tired, and night driving was the first place it showed up. I didn’t want stronger glasses — so I went looking for why, and found a forgotten piece of research most eye doctors have never heard of.
