Dear Ms

When a individually suddenly wakes up , especially if there is no light or dim light, it takes time for eyes to adjust to low light condition. This is due to accommodation of eyes to low lighting condition , this along with slightly altered state of consciousness, age related factors could result in clouding of vision and appearance of color. Rest be assured there is no cause for concern.
