\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>What Is Night Blindness?<\/b><\/strong><\/h2>\n

Through study its been observed that Night blindness is not a disease itself\u2014rather, it is a symptom<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0of an underlying eye problem. People who suffer with nyctalopia cannot see well in dim\u00a0light or darkness\u00a0especially at night time . Their eyes struggle to adapt when lighting changes suddenly, such as happen with normal person when entering a dark room after being outside in sunlight.<\/p>\n

The back \u00a0thin layer\u00a0of eye is \u00a0called the retina<\/b><\/strong>, which works like a camera sensor\u00a0or act as a detector .
\nThis retina has two types of cells:<\/p>\n

Cones<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 help you see in bright light.<\/p>\n

Rods<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 help you see in dim light and at night.<\/p>\n

In night blindness, the rods become weak, damaged, or underfed, so as soon as the light goes down\u2026your vision collapses.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/strong>Common Causes<\/b><\/strong>\u00a0Of Night Blindness:<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

This is basically a\u00a0genetic condition in which the retina\u00a0cells \u00a0break down slowly, leading to tunnel vision and severe night vision problems\u00a0occur .<\/p>\n

3. Cataracts<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

If a person having Cloudy lenses\u00a0then it can \u00a0reduce the amount of light reaching the retina, making night-time visibility weaker.<\/p>\n

4. Nearsightedness (Myopia)<\/b><\/strong><\/h3>\n

People who suffer with \u00a0uncorrected myopia often experience difficulty seeing in\u00a0dim \u00a0light environments.<\/p>\n
