Any other Night Blind INGOer's

[Harry2110]

I was wondering if there were any other night blind ingoer's besides me?

I personally have a double issue is along with very poor night vision I really only have one working eye so distance is almost impossible to tell at night without massive lights.

I prefer the night

Sorry to hear it, no corrective surgury or procedures,natural healing to be done or curve ?

i hate driving at night. i cant read signs or judge distance very well. its not so much of a problem if i know where im at but if im out of my comfort zone then id rather just not drive.

Yes. Due to a genetic condition. Things need to be moving or have a great amount of contrast for me to see them in low light. Stairs look no different then ramps to me in low light for example.
There are only a couple of streets in town with adequate lighting that make it possible for me to drive at night safely and even on those it is extremely difficult.
So I am either home before the end of civil twilight (thumbs up to the app the lets me plan for that) or I am getting a ride. Several times I have asked a passenger to take over driving when delays have pushed a day trip longer then anticipated.

Wow, that sucks. I can actually see into the IR range; once my eyes adjust I can see you in the dark by your body heat. I guess I'm Inframan!

Sorry to hear that. I have the opposite problem, light sensitivity. However, I've always been able to see pretty well at night, better than most i think.

I find it more difficult to see details at night than it used to be. Especially if there is light shining in my eyes from other drivers.

So for I've been lucky. My Mother had some night blindness. My Dad did not. I think I have my Father's eyes.

Im kinda that way here. I still dont see how people can even drive at night with only the low beams. Im running equivelent to a cars high beams to just do 20mph and that is still barely enough.
Also what app do you have that lets you plan as I would love to have that?

Actually I kinda have that as well. So im kinda equally messed up.
But I just carry around sunglasses that I wear everywhere even inside sometimes.

The app I use is called Sunrise Sunset Lite. There is a pay for version as well but the free one does what I need it to. It allows me to change the date ahead to see when sunset and the end of civil twilight will occur on any day I might be planning a trip.
The pay for version allows one to select a different location but since I am only concerned about getting home before dark I don't need that feature.

I have bad eyesight in general but when I was little I got shot in the eye with a homemade bow and arrow. Depth perception hasn't been all that good since. Depth perception and being highly light sensitive make it hard to see things properly at night.

Youll still have better vision than me most likely. Man that must have hurt like crazy to get hit by. Also Im guessing youll where trying to do a william tell trick or was it a misfire?

I don't have a dedicated app, but I use the google sunrise/sunset calendar add-on and it shows up on my google calendar app. I track the bears games and moon phases also.

Well i like the night time.. i would prefer to drive at night less traffic. But, the only time ibhave trouble seeing where i am going is at night after or during a rain. I have a hard time seeing the white strips so i prefer the hammer down lane with the solid yellow line. In such circumstances on the interstate highways. I have a friend who has "fog" lights all along his bottom bumber of his car so he can drive at night he says they help his perception.. by really lighting up the road close and his low beams project normally but further than his fogs.. so he gets his perception by the contrast of the two different light sources... so he knows how far the fogs project etc... maybe thatp will help some of you..

I'm not quite legally blind but without glasses or contacts I can see a couple inches at best. There was no William Tell or misfire. I was up in a hayloft (that happened to be missing a small piece of the door) and the person shooting the bow was hitting the door and outside wall of the barn. One miss and the arrow went right through the hole and barely stuck in my eye. Hit right at the edge of the white of my left eye. It didn't really hurt too much and I got to wear an eyepatch for a couple months so as a fairly young kid, I was fine with it.

I am extremely sensitive to light. I found that tinting the entire windshield of my vehicle, in addition to all the rest of my windows help tremendously. I though it may hinder me at night, but it actually helps to remove most of the glare of oncoming headlights and takes away the halo from around most other lights at night. It is legal if you have a note from your optometrist....at least that's what I found online.

I cant drive at night. Used to be if I was familier with the road and there werent any streets light, on coming traffic i could manage. Not anymore. I tunred on a what I thought was a road, it wasnt. Luckily I didnt hit anything or get stuck. I dont drive when its dark.

I actually like it dark compared to light. I turn off all my lights in the home to watch TV. I have great vision at night, so long as I'm wearing my contacts or glasses. My wife on the other hand seems almost blind at night, and wants the house lit up like a Christmas tree from wake-up to bed time.
