I don't mind the LEDS, as long as they are angled correctly and they are not on full beam. I find it better than muppets with full beam halogens.

That'll be because you drive a beemer and are real close to the car in front
(/s incase it wasn't obvious). I saw a yellow headlight (not sure if car LEDs come on that colour, and it looked as though it was come out at 90 degrees as I was perpendicular to the car and it was bright).

Is this based on anything tangible or is it just something you've decided?
There is a bit of correlation between myopia and poor night vision. Quick Google will spit out plenty of articles.
Vision with glasses is also poorer than without glasses - ask any wearer that has also tried contact lenses and they'll confirm it. Not to mention peripheral vision and the like where glasses are always worse than contacts or when glasses needed.
Of course this is for those who truly need glasses and would be a danger driving without them - I reckon that is probably around -1 maybe - 1.50 at a push. Driving with anything below that such as - 2 or - 3 is alarm bells kind of danger, only getting worse with the prescription. Aka the moderate to high prescriptions.
Those who have - 0.50 prescriptions are of course less impacted as a perfectly healthy person can have that kind of distorsion after a long enough day and when sleep deprived.
