Came out of a lighted building last night into darkness, trying to find my car by way of a walkway, stairs, and parking area with no lights. Had to feel my way with my feet, slowly, couldn't hardly see a thing. Meanwhile a kid breezed by me, said he could see fine.

I am not out in darkness without a flashlight very often and was not happy to learn that my vision has been affected in yet another way.

Anyone else?

I have trouble driving at night, can't see potholes. This has been going on maybe a year now.

I am not experienced in this issue, but wanted to reply to your post, you being helpful to others.

2 thoughts came to my mind: adrenal fatigue? You know how one test is to check how fast/ if your eyes dilate?

Vitamin A. Micellized Vitamin A drops.

Hi Poppy,

Yes driving at night used to be real bad.

Got pulled over one time. The officer thought I was a DUI. But it was not seeing too good at nighttime.

IV rocephin helped a ton, so did Diamox to reduce swelling.

Hope it gets better soon Poppy.

Night blindness is a known Lyme symptom. Should resolve with treatment.

Of course, Vitamin A, Vitamin C and the pigments in colorful (esp. dark purple) fruits and vegetables are very important for the health of our eyes.
