Poor night vision

[Stronglady]

Does anyone else experience poor night vision. I can see great during the day (with contacts. I’m nearsighted) but night is difficult. My optometrist blames it on my ms but I’m not sure. They always blame ms

I have poor night vision and MS has nothing to do with it. If I am out during the day and as it transitions to evening I have a difficult time seeing.

If I venture out when it's dark I am able to see better. I am not sure why that is

I have a hard time at night. Especially when I'm fatigued. My eye specialists agreed that it's probably MS related. ❤🌷

Have you been evaluated by an ophthalmologist?

Sorry it is NOT your MS it is your eyes. A lot of people have night vision problems & MS has nothing to do with it. I've not been able to drive after dark for several yrs. Dr. told me it has to do with age & happens more to women than to men. I read an article about it & I'll try to find it.

I also have a hard time seeing at night I am not driving now. But you have to understand I live where there are a lot of country roads that are dark. I also have been told where sun glasses when it is sunny and after a snow storm.

I have also had a hard time with night vision all my life. I stopped wearing contacts when I started having problems putting them in due to my left hand shaking due to the ms. So now I wear glasses and still have problems, especially going from daylight into a movie theater but after about 10 minutes my eyes adjust . I am 70 years old and was diagnosed at the age of 56. 😀😀

I have a hard time with night vision. I believe it to be related to the ms. Everyone is different and age has a lot to do with bad night vision. However I am too young to have age as a factor. I use glasses at night to drive, it helps. I try not to drive at night though.

I also have poor night vision but so does my husband who does not have MS. I figure we're just old...

I blame it partly on my age, and mostly on my career ~ being a computer programmer! Glasses do help with my night vision ~ especially when driving!

Yes, and mine is due to MS damaging reflexes. The worst is bright lights at night on a dark poorly lit road.
