I had visited several eye specialist doctors but could not get any treatment till now.

I am currently suffering from Nyctalopia, and the symptoms are increasing. Whilst driving at night is something I do my best to avoid, sometimes you do not have an alternative and the stress of this journey is horrendous, as each passing vehicle blinds me, I cannot pick out shapes around me. I do have special lenses in my glasses, that are tinted green, however this does not seem, to deflect all of the glare from oncoming headlights. Is there an operation, I can have to correct this?

i think there is no way out

My I pray to God that she will be alright one day and all my friends too out there. Hope and pray to God that the doctors will keep on researching this disease and hope they will get through. IF any doctor or specialist in this field please please go through it and help me. I and my wife do not have hereditery night blindness problem in our families.

Hi, i suffer from nightblindness and a lazy eye, so no depth preseption. It sucks. i was told there is nothing i could do about it. As a result i had to release from the army. Just last week i heard about vision therapy to treat the lazy eye, it seems promising so we'll see how it goes. as for the nightblindness i havn't yet came accross anything for it. I am shocked on how little information there is about the condition. Medicine has come along way, but i guess there is quit a way to go still... i wish you all the best..

Hi
My brother is suffering from night blindness since birth. We have consulted the eye doctors and no progress. Is there any possible way for treatment? Please explain.

thank you

Sanjay and Babara,

I have suffered from night blindness since birth and I am now 25 years old. I can't drive at night... I can barely see to walk at night! You both mentioned passing along this condition to children. It is most DEFINITELY something passed along. My mother and grandmother both suffer from the same problem I do!!

I have not read anywhere how to prevent spreading it, but my mother was told (in the early 80's in Europe) to take plenty of Vitamin A supplements while she was pregnant. Obviously I still inherited the condition, but I did not seem to suffer much until I was an early teen and I am not near as bad as my mother was at this age so there is hope that I didn't get the full bluntness of it.

Hopefully there will be more research out there soon. People laugh at me when I ask for a ride at night... no one even knows that night blindness is real!!

Good luck!
Blake.

I had night blindness but the doctors reached up my ass and pulled on my lower intestines..it realigned the back of my eye muscles and I can see better...but do have frequent stool releases...

Suffering from Nightblindness since I was born
and I can't really do anything about it My mom is really
annoying about that cuz she doesnt really let me go outside at nights.. What can I do? DX

I've had some problems seeing well at night, my sister told me to take bilberry. I started taking it and increased my vitamin A, drinking carrot juice every day. It seems to be helping, but takes a little while to work T ry it.

Hi guys,
if u have night blindness since birth, please check whether it is retinitis pigmentosa, coz most probably it is. My mom and brothers had it too. If it is yes, then nothing we can do (at this stage) coz researchers still working on it.

Hey everyone, im 23 and i also have nightblindness just like most other people here...i dont think i was born with it because i really started to see a change on how i saw things at night in my later years of middle school. One possible cause of it was laser pointers being played with too much or just not eating a healthy enough diet. Ive played soccer and swimming year around since i was 3 years old so as a kid, i hated eating health food, my metabolism was high and never gained weight so i just ate junk food which could be another possible cause on my condition, not getting enough Vitamin A. I rarely go to bars, dances, clubs, movie theaters, restaurants because of the dark areas. At night, i still drive but i have installed some fogs lights and H.I.D.s(High Intensity Discharge) headlights. These headlights are what some of the BMWs, Mercedes, Inifinity, Acura, Hybrid cars all come equipped with, they are very bright(brighter than your conventional halogen bulbs). They are also expensive but really worth it. I would recommend getting these lights installed on your cars and if you do, they have different temperature ratings to choose from and the brightest and most popular temp. is 6,000K(these are super bright white lights) the 8000K gives a more bluish light but does not permit as much light as the 6000k. I try to do anything and everything to not let night blindness stop me from living my life...it might slow me down but i wont give in to it. Dont give up if you feel hopeless about your night blindness, instead of avoiding the issue by staying at home all the time, learn your surroundings at home and learn how things work in public as well. Dont do anything that might cause major harm to yourself and especially others i.e. driving a car with a bunch of friends if you cant see very well driving at night(thats a no no from my experience). Carry a small flashlight with you that can fit in your pocket or purse or whatever works. There are flashlights out there that are very compact in size but can give out alot of light. When you go out with a group of friends or just one or 2 people...let them know your situation and condition. instead of walking directly next to the person, trail them alittle bit from the side and behind...so your eye sight will have the person you are with and the view in front. this will help with your confidence so you dont feel like youre completely alone and constantly keeping check where you are, what youre walking on, and any other obstacles. Sometimes it doesnt hurt to have a D.G.(designated guider). basically since im a guy and i go out...if there are friends of mine that are with me who are girls, i usually tell them my situation and ask them if they could be my guide for the night and this means in areas where i cant see or need help they can hold my hand and walk me through and sort of give me a heads up of things that could be avoided. This has always worked and have no shame telling anyone about my condition. If im with just all guys(surely i wont want to hold their hands but they still help me out by letting me know of anything around or coming up to avoid any problems. Of course you will have your days will you will run into things you didnt see that most other people will see, like the wet floor signs, or any tables or objects that are low to the ground and not in your eye sight. Nightblindess, in my case and very rare in any other cases i know of, is even more difficult for me because im also hearing impaired. As a deaf person, your eyes are your ears, you read lips, you read body language, you automatically have a sense of watching your surroundings but nightblindness and deafness is a very very difficult thing because you cant see who you are really talking to or what they might be saying especially in crowded areas or loud areas. I hope this helps inspire anyone who are looking for simple answers and help until there is a cure and hopefully this helps someone out there. good luck to you guys

there is a cure... eyeball replacement surgery

I think I have this because one day at Christmas I was at my aunt's house and looked in a real bright light and it really had a deep effect on the way I see things around my room at night. Like before I had it I could see out the window of my room even when the light from the moon came in and I have blurred vision and a sore left eye. I am VERY scared that when I looked in that light, it damaged my retina for good! I am so very depressed and would like to know if that was enough to cause permanent damage. Can someone tell me if that brought on retinitis?

Very scared!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm having problems seeing at night. When I am in a vehicle at night, I can't only see what is in front of the headlights. I can see the driver at the corner of my eye, the dash lights enable me to do this, but if I look directly at the driver, I cannot see him/her. I always have to sleep with the light on so I can see should I wake at night. Even when the curtain is left open, you would think I could see the light reflection on the wall. Again, if I look directly at it, I cannot see it, but I can at the corner of my eye. I have almost like black dots in the middle of my eyes at night.

hi.. i have had a disability since i was born it's called retardadtion this is not a funny thing but along with that i had night blindness which makes me sad. I never wanted night blindness i only wanted retardation but night blindness and retardation came in a package. After 16 year my night blindness finally has gone by some miracle i really hated it but i ate all my vegetables and got strong and big and can walk almost straight i just wanted to give everyone hope and say thank u to bridgwater retardation centre for full recovery i have had. THANK YOU!

im 15 yrs old old and had night blindness all my life, it is a terrible condition in which the bearer has terrible trouble seeing in the dark. But seriously ive been taking vitamin A now for 3 yrs and the condition hasent gotten any better. Does organ donations include eyes. Cause if they do i want a new pair.

Is there any treatment for retina pigmentosa - one type of nightblindness? Will this eyball replacement surgery will remove this problem? my email id is jessyjacobin@yahoo.co.in

hi there i have nightblindness i was born with it i think i have dificulty to see in the dark, pls could you tell me what i should to improve my nighblindness and i need your help thanks

hi everybody
i am 24 and here are the list of eye diseases i have
nightblindness
myopia ( -17 dioptre)
squint
(and i think i have astigmatism too which i came to know when i referred an article. but i dont know about how it affects one's vision and i am least bothered about it)
i am now working in a bank and here are few tips that i use to overcome my problems
nighhtblindness- always have a small tourch(flashlight) with you.having good and understanding friends is of great help.tell your companion that you are having such a problem if you are with a person who doesnt know about your problem(there are still good people in this world who are willing to help others who are less fortunate)sometimes some people may laugh at you and it will hurt like anything and what i do is laugh loudly with them and cry when i am alone its really a good technique and after few occassions you will be amazed to realise that these laughs no longer has any effect on you.
myopia- i wears contact lenses.simple!
squint- really a BIG problem than what it seems to be especially when we want to deal with a large number of persons daily.the problem is that people wont realise to whom we are talking. try to learn the names of persons whom you deal with and call their names while you are talking to them.be confident and never let yourselves down by seing people getting confused and looking back to check whether we are talking to someone standing behind them, just enjoy the situation.
after all what matters is how we see things rather than what we see.
just chill its just a disease and its not your fault at all
and at last, you know what, my friends sometimes never belived that i have visual problems bcoz i was the one who notices first,when a beauty passes by.


asking people with visual problems to 'enter the text you see in the image below' is really funny. hey man we cant see properly and thats why we are here

Hi
