This study aimed to explore the effectiveness of yellow glasses in reducing discomfort glare caused by white light-emitting diode headlights during night-time driving. The 30 visually normal participants were categorized into two age groups: 15 younger adults (mean age = 21.0 ± 1.6 years) and 15 older adults (mean age = 71.0 ± 1.6 years). Participants, simulating a driving position, assessed discomfort glare from glare sources (high- and low-beam headlights of oncoming vehicles) located 40 m away using the de Boer scale. Yellow glasses meeting night driving standards were found to have no significant impact on discomfort glare compared to neutral density filters with identical luminous transmittance, across all age groups. These findings imply that the ability of yellow glasses to partially block blue light, prevalent in white light-emitting diode headlights, does not alleviate discomfort glare. In conclusion, yellow glasses with a luminous transmittance of 75% or higher, meeting night driving standards, do not reduce discomfort glare caused by white LED headlights, regardless of the age group of the driver.

本研究旨在探讨黄色眼镜在减少夜间驾驶时白色发光二极管大灯引起的不适眩光方面的有效性。30 名视觉正常的参与者被分为两个年龄组：15 名年轻人 （平均年龄 = 21.0 ± 1.6 岁） 和 15 名老年人 （平均年龄 = 71.0 ± 1.6 岁）。参与者模拟驾驶位置，使用 de Boer 量表评估了位于 40 m 外的眩光源（对面车辆的远光灯和近光灯）带来的不适眩光。研究发现，与具有相同透光率的中性密度滤光片相比，符合夜间驾驶标准的黄眼镜对所有年龄组的不适眩光没有显着影响。这些发现意味着，黄色眼镜部分阻挡蓝光的能力（在白色发光二极管前照灯中普遍存在）并不能缓解不适眩光。总之，发光透射率为 75% 或更高的黄色眼镜，符合夜间驾驶标准，无论驾驶员的年龄段如何，都不会减少白色 LED 大灯引起的不适眩光。
