A member asked:

At night, ith spectacles on, i have same vision as with them off. am i suffering from night blindness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

As we get older,: We tend to see less distinctly at night due to loss of retinal rod cells over the years. Your experience is not definitive, and if you are losing ability to see well at night, an eye exam will be very useful, and could potentially reverse some or most of your problems.
