Glare: Glare can be due to many things besides astigmatism-- you may have a cataract, you may have other eye problems--- some people will use slightly tinted glasses for night driving-- others will use special mirrors that dim down with oncoming headlights from behind-- it is ok to get another opinion from another doc, but first, make sure the glasses were made correctly...

Glare: If glare is a common symptom in middle-age or older individuals, then should be checked for cataracts. Other eye conditions may also cause significant glare.
