Nightblindness?
Posted: 03-25-06 14:15pm

My vision seems to be quite poor at night, could this be nightblindess or just high levels of anxiety? (i have had an eye test)

thanks,
james

Personally I think its just age. I have good eyesight myself but it seems that it wasn't as good as it was when I was younger. My doctor said my arms are getting too short when I told her I am starting to have problems with small print. (eye exam showed nothing wrong, I just can't read small print anymore).

I am okay at night if the roads are lit but if i'm someplace like out in the country where the streetlights are far and few between I have to drive slow and really pay attention to where my headlights are pointed. I'm over forty.

Thankyou for the reply. While I am still very young and my eye tests have always been 20/20 vision. I dont have any problems with my vision in the daytime, but at night, especially as you said in a poorly lit location my eyes also have trouble adapting to the dark. It has been present since my anxiety started, maybe a few months after.

Thanks,
james

Ive pretty much always had night blindness, its kinda something youll just have to get used to...Youll learn to do most of your shopping ect in daylight hours etc.

I have this and mine is caused by my silver fillings in my teeth, do you have any?
