Night blindness is a type of vision impairment that occurs when the eyes transition from a bright environment to a dimly lit one. Those with night blindness experience poor vision at night making it difficult for them to drive safely, or perform other daily activities.
Individuals suffering from nearsightedness, cataracts, glaucoma, keratoconus, retinitis pigmentosa, or diabetic retinopathy may be prone to developing night blindness. Consulting with an eye doctor for proper care will help you manage the disease. Some night vision problems are treatable, and some may not be, giving you an excellent reason to visit us at the Fort Lauderdale Eye Institute for the correct assessment of your condition.
