Hello @bobbyo, Welcome to Connect. I had cataract surgery done to both of my eyes last year and was really happy with the results because I no longer had to wear glasses for driving. I had the standard IOLs used and I did notice some glare on bright days and sometimes at night. Regular sunglasses help me during the day. I was bugged because I always had to have 1.25 reading glasses with me to read labels at the store. The surgeon did give me an RX for glasses to fix the reading and suggested I could have them as bifocals or progressive lenses so I recently had a pair made and wear them most of the time and they seem to make a difference with the night time glare that I still noticed a little, although not as bad as prior to my cataract surgery.

Here are a couple of articles you may find helpful on the topic.

Have you looked into getting photochromic contacts or glasses?
