If : If your night vision has never been good--this may be genetic or it may be from undercorrected eye glasses or contacts. Have your eye doc do a measurement in the dark to see if it is different than a "day time" measurement.

The : The loss of night vision can be from various causes. The most common would be the need for glasses. Others may have complex retinal diseases like retinitis pigmentosa which can cause "night blindness." it is best to seek the care of an ophthalmologist for a comprehensive examination and to find the cause of your decreased night vision. Depending on the cause, there may be surgical options.
