[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I have a friend who I am pretty sure has anxiety but is in denial.
She lives in DC and says she cant see at night so cant drive anywhere. Then she says how lonely she is, She will walk at night though, so can obviously see in the dark.
I think she is nervous about driving at night and it has gone on so long she really believes she cant do it.
She says she has night blindness and therefore cant drive. I dont get how you can see to walk but not to drive.

I had it through childhood and adulthood. It came and went in one eye and then the other. At night I would cover one eye and look and then swap eyes and what I would see with the affected eye would be about 70% blacked/ shaded out.

I asked an eye doctor one time about it. He looked in my eyes and simply said 'you don't have that' .
Not helpful.

I am in my 40's now and it hasn't been an issue for about 10 years.
I'm not sure why but have you had your vitamin A checked? Can you take supplements?
 I remember reading once that a deficiency can cause night blindness. They was probably my issue since it reversed itself
