Night
Vision
No
one can see as
well
at
night
as
in
the
daytime.
But
as
we get
older
these
differences
increase.
A
SO-year-ld
driver may require
at
least
twice
as
much
light
to
see
the
same
thing
at
night
as
a 20-year-old.
What
you do in
the daytime can also
affect
your
night
vision.
For example,
if
you spend the
day
in
bright
sunshine
you
are
wise
to
wear
sunglasses.
Your eyes will
have
less
trouble
adjusting
to
night.
But
if you're driving,
don't
wear
sunglasses
at
night.
They
may
cut
down
on
glare
from
headlights,
but
they
also
make
a
lot
of things
invisible.
You
can be
temporarily
blinded
by approaching lights. It can take
a
second
or two, or even
several
seconds,
for your eyes to
readjust
to
the
dark.
