Many people experience more limited eyesight in the dark than they do in the light. This problem can become even more prevalent as one continues to age, although people of all ages can experience varying levels of night blindness. While there is no known solution for perfect night vision, there are a few things that may help to improve your eyesight in the dark.
a. Vitamin A - An important nutrient for improving one's vision at night is Vitamin A. This vitamin is found in foods such as milk, cheese and cod. It is also found in many dark green leafy vegetables, cantaloupes, carrots, and
apricots. Additionally, vitamin A can be taken in the form of a supplement.
b. Bilberry - The herb referred to as bilberry can also help to improve night vision. Bilberry is found in blueberries, cranberries, and purple grapes. It can be obtained through eating these foods or through a supplement. Bilberry may also help to reduce other types of eyestrain.
c. Night Glasses - For some people, prescription glasses can help to improve vision at night. This may involve a stronger prescription from what you use during the day if you currently wear corrective lenses. If you do not wear
corrective lenses during the day, a prescription may help you at night.
Furthermore, you may request to have a special coating applied to your lenses to reduce reflections and glares from your lenses. For these eyewear options, see your optometrist or eye care professional. There are many different types of eye care coatings on the market that can help your vision at night.
If you experience impaired vision at night, these ideas may help to improve your eyesight in the dark. However, because night blindness can be an indication of a more serious eye problem, it is best to see a physician for a thorough eye exam and diagnosis.
