Abstract

SummaryPurposePatients with complaints of seeing badly in the dark need a full ophthalmological workup.MethodsAcquired versus congenital nightblindness has to be questioned in a full anamnesis. Visual acuity, biomicroscopy and fundus examination are essential followed by visual field testing and possibly visual electrophysiology (flash ERG).ResultsSeveral causes of congenital and acquired nightblindness can be found. Not all patients complaining of seeing badly in the dark are ‘nightblind’.ConclusionA full clinical ophthalmological work up can identify adequately several causes of night blindness.
