Healing of nyctalopia (night blindness)

Mrs C. D. (25), Münster (Germany)

For years my night vision was very bad. This hampered me when I drove at night on badly lit or unlit roads. Despite my headlights, I was unable, from a certain distance, to judge if there was a bend ahead in the road, and if so, which direction it took. So in the dark I drove more by luck than judgement.

In 1991, after I had been in the Bruno Gröning Circle of Friends for almost two years, it dawned on me that driving in the dark was no longer a problem. I can see in the dark again just as well as I do during the day. This is still the case to date.
