Loss of Night Vision
Loss of night vision isn't a common symptom of an eye ulcer, but it may happen. The risk of damaged night vision increases if eye ulcers aren't treated promptly, and the effect may be temporary or permanent.4Wipperman, Jennifer, and John N. Dorsch. ‘Evaluation and Management of Corneal Abrasions.’ American Family Physician, 15 Jan. 2013, www.aafp.org/afp/2013/0115/p114.html
Problems with night vision may lead to blurred vision at night while trying to read or perform any task that requires close viewing. Impaired night vision may affect driving at night. Street lights and lights from oncoming traffic may appear distorted or have halos around them.4Wipperman, Jennifer, and John N. Dorsch. ‘Evaluation and Management of Corneal Abrasions.’ American Family Physician, 15 Jan. 2013, www.aafp.org/afp/2013/0115/p114.html
