Night blindness

Night blindness, or nyctalopia, is a condition where someone has difficulty seeing clearly in low-light or dark environments. It isn’t a disease itself but a symptom caused by underlying issues like vitamin A deficiency, certain eye conditions, or retinal problems. Essentially, it affects the eye’s ability to adapt from bright to dim lighting, making activities like driving at night or moving through dark areas challenging. Proper diagnosis and treatment depend on identifying the specific cause, but improving overall eye health and addressing deficiencies can often help reduce the symptoms.
