Question by imuneekru: Can anyone describe what “night blindness” is like?
Can anyone describe to me what “night blindness” is like? I know it’s caused by lack of Vitamin A. (I’m writing a novel, so I am trying to find more of a firsthand description than I can find in medical journals).

How dark does it have to be to where you can’t see?

When did you notice something was wrong?

To what extent is it reversible? If so, how long does it take to start clearing up?

I have night blondness. Its terrible. Even if is just starting to get dark it effects how far away things look also when cars are coming from the other way the lights blind you. I was young and when my mom used to take us to the skating rink or something and drop us off she used to hate to pick us up at night beacuse of the same thing. I didnt understand until I got older and suffer from the same thing. I did get some new glasses this year that have antireflective lenses that really seem to help alot though. Its not reversible.
