A member asked:
When i move from dark to bright light, is it normal to have temporary loss of vision?

Maybe: It takes a moment for the iris and retina to adjust to broad variations in light intensity. If your adaptation worsens or the vision changes persist, it would be a good idea to be checked out. Some retinal dystrophies and diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa can present like this.

Yes: Can check dark to light adaptation time to see if still normal.

I have a floater that looks like a haze-like cloud. It moves just like a normal floater when I move my eyes from left to right, and is especially noticable when I am in a darker room with a bright window open. Will this disperse into normal floaters?
