5% is ok for night. It might soften the reflections slightly, but an AR coating
will eliminate them. I would recommend the AR coating.
Don't look at the headlights, instead look towards right side of the road.

If it's a 'thinner" plastic lens it will have UV protection.

SUCH lenses won't do anything.

So you confirm the above.

The more you remove UV rays, the more you will have problems in the
night.
Such is the ignorance of doctors and eyeglasses-sellers...
