NIGHT BLINDNESS.

a Condition In which the Vision
Fails rs Daylight FaAes.
Night blindness il condition In
which vision is perfect, or fairly 70, In
daylight, but fails with the setting Of
the sun and Is not restord under ordi-
nary conditions of artificial iliumina-
ton. The sufferer from night blind
ness can usually see the light OF can
die or lamp when he looks directly Mt
1t, but he cannot read even when the
hight ts thrown directly upon the page.
Usually, however, he secs well in a
room lighted brilliantly with electric.
ity, the degree of illumination then up
preaching that of sunlight.
The cause OF night blindness is be-
lieyed to be an cxhausting of the power
of vision by too great light, for 1t oc-
ours mainly among soldiers and sailors
in the tropics, who are exposed foi
many hours to the glare of the sun, and
among arctic explorers, whose eyes are
dazzled by reflection from the snow.
On shipboard it is often associated
with scurvy, and persons who are de-
pressed physically or mentally OF In
any other way run down" are more
likely to suffer than the strong.
Sailors have superstition that the
trouble y dive to iuhprndence n sleep
ing on DECK In the moonlight, md ttAs
belief b embodied IN the term moon
blink by which they call IL The
tropical moon Is probably as guiltesf
| in this respect as 1t is In the produc
ton of insanity.
The only treatment for night blind
ness is keeping away from bright lighI
or protecting the eyes with goggles o.
