Symptoms and causes of night blindness

Night blindness is an eye disease that affects night vision. It is difficult for patients to identify objects and perceive details in dark light environment. Common symptoms of night blindness include blurred vision when walking at night, narrow vision, itchy eyes, dryness and difficulty in driving at night. There are many reasons for night blindness, including genetic factors, vitamin A deficiency, eye damage and basic diseases.

Genetic factors are one of the common causes of night blindness. If someone in the family suffers from night blindness, their offspring are more likely to suffer from night blindness. In addition, vitamin A deficiency is also an important cause of night blindness. Vitamin A is an important substance to protect retinal cells. Lack of vitamin A will lead to retinal cell damage, which will affect vision. In addition, some eye diseases, such as macular degeneration and retinitis pigmentosa, can also lead to night blindness. *Later, some basic diseases, such as diabetes and hyperthyroidism, may also lead to night blindness.

Effect and prevention of night blindness

The therapeutic effect of night blindness is related to the specific conditions and causes of the patients. For night blindness caused by vitamin A deficiency, vitamin A supplementation can effectively improve the vision of patients. For night blindness caused by basic diseases, it is necessary to treat the basic diseases first, and then further improve the night blindness. There is no specific treatment for familial hereditary night blindness at present, but the symptoms can be alleviated by night vision training and wearing special glasses.

The key to prevent night blindness is to pay attention to the nutrition intake in daily life. Vitamin A is an essential nutrient for retinal cells, and adequate vitamin A should be taken. In addition, avoiding long-term exposure to strong light and harsh environment will also help prevent the occurrence of night blindness. In case of night blindness, seek medical treatment in time to avoid further deterioration.
