Can night blindness be improved by wearing glasses?
Generally speaking, it is difficult to improve night blindness by fitting glasses. If the patient already has tunnel vision, they can try wearing special glasses to enhance the visual quality of the remaining vision. Night blindness refers to blurred vision or even complete inability to see in the dark or dimly lit environments, causing difficulties in movement. Night blindness can be categorized into congenital night blindness, acquired night blindness, and temporary night blindness. Congenital night blindness is mostly related to congenital genetic factors, where patients are born lacking the function to synthesize rhodopsin, leading to night blindness. Currently, there is no specific treatment, but it is advisable to supplement vitamin A as per medical advice. Acquired night blindness is often due to diseases of the eye itself and it is recommended to actively treat the primary disease. Temporary night blindness is mostly due to a lack of vitamin A in the diet, or diseases of the digestive system that affect the absorption of vitamin A, and it is recommended to supplement vitamin A as per medical advice and treat digestive tract diseases, which can mostly improve the condition.
