Have you ever noticed that you can see clearly during the day but struggle to see at night or in dimly lit places? You may find it difficult to drive after dark, navigate in poorly lit areas, or adjust your vision when moving from a bright place into darkness.
This is commonly known as night blindness (nyctalopia). It is not usually a disease on its own, but rather a symptom that can be caused by several eye or health conditions.
Possible causes include:
• Vitamin A deficiency
• Cataracts
• Certain retinal conditions
• Glaucoma and some eye diseases
• Some medications
If you regularly struggle to see at night, have difficulty driving in the dark, or notice that your night vision is getting worse, don’t simply assume it is normal. An eye examination can help identify the underlying cause.
