What is the name for when the eyes have trouble adjusting to light to dark conditions?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low light adaptation: Dark adaptation takes about 30-45 minutes to be complete. If after i hr in the dark you still cannot see you may have some sort of nightblindness. You should see an ophthalmologist.
