How To Get Rid Off Night Blindness?
I have night blindness. I think I know how I aquired it, really stupid, but it's already been done. I have to find out now, how to get rid of it. I was, many years ago, taking Zinc, but I was taking something else with it, don't remember what though. Can you help?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having night blindness. The causes include congenital ones like retinitis pigmentosa or acquired problems like vitamin A deficiency, toxic ambylopia..
Since you have mentioned about consumption of something which you have not mentioned it can be a cause in the form of toxic ambylooia. The treatment is by stopping it and use of detoxyfying agent if available.
Hence I require to know what drug or what exactly you have taken and for how long.
Thank you
