When the sun dips below the horizon, most of us adjust to the dimming light with relative ease. But for some, the transition into twilight brings a profound and debilitating struggle to see. This condition, often misunderstood as simply "poor night vision," is medically known as nyctalopia, or more commonly, night blindness. It's not just about struggling to see in the dark; it’s a symptom of underlying ocular issues that warrant attention.
