A member asked:
Should i get my eyes checked if i think i might have night blindness?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Night blindness (nyctalopia) is a condition in which it is difficult or impossible to see in relatively low light. It can exist from birth, can be caused by injury or malnutrition (such as low vitamin a), or can occur with several eye diseases, most commonly retinitis pigmentosa. Definitely get your eyes checked.
