Do you suffer from night blindness?
Night blindness is due to a disorder of the cells in the retina that are responsible for vision in dim light. It has many causes, including:
-Nearsightedness
-Glaucoma
-Glaucoma medications that work by constricting the pupil
-Cataracts
-Diabetes
-Retinitis pigmentosa
-Vitamin A deficiency
-Keratoconus
Dr. Thomas’s treatment for night blindness will depend on its cause. It may be as simple as a new prescription for your eyeglasses, switching medication, or it may require surgery if it’s the result of cataracts.
