The most common causes for night blindness include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Cataract<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>A cataract refers to the clouding of a normally clear eye lens. This leads to hazy or blurry vision, especially in dim light. If a person gets cloudy vision in one eye due to a cataract, they are likely to experience vision difficulties in low light, i.e., suffer from night blindness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Glaucoma<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Glaucoma refers to a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve. It is generally caused by high intraocular pressure (IOP). This can lead to temporary or even permanent vision impairment. It is a common cause of difficulty in viewing objects at night or in low light.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Nearsightedness<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearsightedness or myopia is one of the top causes of night blindness. This happens when the eyeball grows too long, restricting light from focusing on the retina correctly. A nearsighted person is unable to view distant objects clearly, especially in low-light surroundings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Vitamin A Deficiency<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamin A or retinol is responsible for providing the eye with rhodopsin (a light-sensitive molecule in the retina). It helps in smooth eye functioning and light absorption by the retina. A deficiency of vitamin A can lead to severe eye problems, including night blindness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Retinitis Pigmentosa<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This refers to a group of rare eye diseases that can severely damage the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohanaeyehospital.com\/retina\">retina<\/a>. This does not allow light to reflect on the retina the way it should. This is a genetic disorder and can lead to reduced ability to see in dim light.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Congenital Stationary Night Blindness (CSNB)<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>CSNB refers to a group of rare genetic eye conditions that impact your ability to see clearly in dim or low light. This is caused due to mutations in the GNAT, TRPM1, and LRIT3 genes. CSNB mostly affects people who are assigned male at birth. Currently, there is no known cure for CSNB, but it can be managed through various aids.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Treat_Night_Blindness\"><\/span>How to Treat Night Blindness?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although night blindness is a symptom of several underlying eye conditions, most of them are treatable. Treatment can be administered through relevant corrective and treatment measures for the specific cause. Here are some treatments or corrective measures for night blindness:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Nearsightedness<\/strong> &#8211; Prescription glasses, contact lenses, SMILE Pro, Contoura Gold, and other refractive eye surgeries.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cataract <\/strong>&#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/sohanaeyehospital.com\/blog\/what-are-the-3-types-of-cataract-surgery-explained-by-experts\/\">Cataract surgeries<\/a>, such as Micro-Incision Cataract Surgery (MICS), Femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS), AI Robotic Cataract Surgery\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Glaucoma<\/strong> &#8211; Medication, laser, and surgery<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Retinitis Pigmentosa<\/strong> &#8211; Supplements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vitamin A Deficiency<\/strong> &#8211; Vitamin A supplements, fruits, and vegetables<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Congenital Stationary Night Blindness (CSNB)<\/strong> &#8211; Management by using brighter lights at home\/work, low-vision aids, and adjustable electronics.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you or anyone you know is struggling with night blindness, contact us today and book a consultation with <a href=\"https:\/\/share.google\/Vr0UeWNzfKlhKbHwq\">Dr. Amanpreet Kaur, senior cataract and refractive surgeon<\/a>, one of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohanaeyehospital.com\/our-doctors\">best eye doctors in Chandigarh<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Frequently_Asked_Questions_About_Night_Blindness\"><\/span>Frequently Asked Questions About Night Blindness<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Do I suffer from night blindness?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have been diagnosed with myopia or any of the above-mentioned eye conditions, you will most likely experience symptoms of night blindness. The degree to which night blindness impacts your vision might vary according to the severity of the condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Who is most likely to get night blindness?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"2\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Older adults are more prone to developing eye problems like cataracts or glaucoma, which can make them experience symptoms of night blindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Which vitamin causes night blindness?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"3\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Night blindness is mainly caused by Vitamin A deficiency. Vitamin A is necessary for producing rhodopsin, a light-sensitive molecule in the retina that is responsible for facilitating vision in low light.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Is night blindness genetic?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"4\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Night blindness can be genetic. In this case, it is referred to as Congenital Stationary Night Blindness (CSNB), which is related to the TRPM1 gene mutation. Inherited night blindness is rare, affecting only 1 in 6000 people.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Is night blindness a disease or a symptom of another condition?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Night blindness cannot be considered a disease. Unless genetic, it is always caused by an underlying eye condition. So, if you start experiencing symptoms of night blindness, it is advised to get a complete <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sohanaeyehospital.com\/contact\">eye checkup<\/a> to determine the cause of this symptom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>6. Can I see clearly during the day if I have night blindness?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"6\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on your underlying condition, you may not notice night blindness symptoms during the day if you\u2019re in a well-lit environment. However, dark rooms or surroundings can increase the possibility of experiencing discomfort or unclear vision.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>7. Can diet or lifestyle changes help manage night blindness?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol start=\"7\" class=\"wp-block-list\"><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Yes. Adding Vitamin A-rich foods to your diet if your condition is due to the deficiency of Vitamin A can help manage night blindness. Additionally, a few small changes like using electronics with adjustable brightness, modifying your work and living space to better fit your light requirements, can help lessen difficulty in viewing objects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\">\n{\n  \"@context\": \"https:\/\/schema.org\",\n  \"@type\": \"FAQPage\",\n  \"mainEntity\": [{\n    \"@type\": \"Question\",\n    \"name\": \"Do I suffer from night blindness?\",\n    \"acceptedAnswer\": {\n      \"@type\": \"Answer\",\n      \"text\": \"If you have been diagnosed with myopia or any of the above-mentioned eye conditions, you will most likely experience symptoms of night blindness.
