Can See In Light But Not Dark - trouble w/ rods and cones ? Posted: 11-08-07 20:17pm


I'm noticing lately that although I can drive fine during the day, I am practically BLIND at night. I can hardly see a foot infront of me with highbeams on. I know that sounds odd, it being dark and all, but I'm finding it extremely hard regardless. Are their "night" glasses, or what can I do to fix this? Are my rods and cones screwed up? During the day I have trouble seeing at a distance but I'm not blind as a bat.

Lack of vitamin A usually causes night blindness. If it's as simple as that, you will know in less than two weeks if you take more vitamin A. If that doesn't improve your night vision, then see an eye doctor and get examined.
