10 Symptoms Of Diabetic Retinopathy
Reviewed: Dr. Mera
Symptom #9: Poor Night Vision
Humans did not evolve as nocturnal animals. Instead, we are most active during the day, finding shelter for safety during the night. As such, we did not evolve eyes that are particularly good at helping us to see in the dark, at least not as well as other animals that are nocturnal.
We still manage to see well enough at night, though, often helped by light from the sun reflecting off the moon. Patients with diabetic retinopathy will often find that their ability to see in the dark becomes diminished. This can obviously make things quite difficult for them once the sun has gone down.
