Actually it's pretty damn good! I can out see and out hear my wife who is 9 years my junior.
Yet I'll confess that I'm beginning to notice occasional floaters in my vision, the end is near! |

After wearing contacts for a while my eyes have gotten very sensitive to light. If I am the only one on the road no issues yet headlights get to me now. Plus the fuckers that drive with high-beams on really fuck with my sight.

Bilberries and beta carotene helps with night vision. It takes me like a minute to be decently dark adapted and about 5 minutes to really see in the dark.
I've noticed the difference when I stopped taking them. Also, WW2 RAF pilots flying night missions ate bilberries for NV. |

I'll be 60 years old at the end of this month.
My night vision has been getting worse over the years to the point that I now hate driving at night. I'm not unsafe at night but it REALLY puts a strain on my eyes - especially when there is an oncoming vehicle that don't dim their headlights or the REAL fuckheads that put HID lamps in without changing the reflector. |

I read that it decreases with age, to the point that an 18 year old's night vision is more than twice a 40 year old's. Mine has definitely gotten worse as I've aged.

I have some trouble driving at night.It takes my eyes a LONG time to adjust to different light intensity...like oncoming headlights.
But,I'm coming up on 71 years old in a few weeks so shouldn't complain too much. |

Not so good for me...
Story about night vision... I hired a fishing guide in FL for snook fishing. Well, if you don't know much about snook fishing it's far better at night, so this was a night trip. We are in his boat starting out on the trip and this guy is running around in pitch dark like 60 MPH and dodging buoys and and docks and junk that I can't even see at all in the dark. We get to a spot and he gives me a rod and somehow ties a bimini twist knot and lure on in 10 seconds in pitch fucking dark (no flashlights or interior lights on board this boat it seems). He says cast to that fence by the shore... I say "what fence???". Can't see shit. I can barely move around in his dark unlit boat on a moonless night, but it might as well be daylight to him. It turns out that this guy fishes only at night and sleeps during most days. With being out so much at night in the dark his vision is superhuman. My friend and I both couldn't believe how much better he saw in the dark than we did. It shocked us both. |

I have fabulous night vision and I can see things that my friends and family can't. But sadly as age progresses on me, I am slowly loosing it.

I did alot of predator hunting at night in college. I could see alot of things in pitch black dark and would alert the guys with lights to shine. I had lasik and all that went away.
My eye doctor actually wrote me a prescription for a Pvs14 on his script pad as a joke to take home to the wife. |

I had Lasik back in 2006, that hurt my night vision some, but it's still better than everyone else I know. I can see and even read in light levels that most people can't identify basic shapes.

I do a lot of night hog hunting, and on a full moon or close to it night, I sometimes go 4 or 5 hours and use my flashlight about 30 seconds all night.

mine is abnormally good.
I may or may not on occasion drive at night without headlights on. Never had the need for NVGs. Couldn't afford them if I did though. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm 50, been getting worse since 45 when young, my night vision was almost supernatural, used to run through the woods at night, dodging sticks, rocks, branches. anyone following would be shuffling along, bumping into trees, feeling their way along. . Twenties, used to drive with headlights off for miles at night, dodging moose, cows, no problem seeing the road, except transition when turning lights ON for oncoming traffic. went down hill after mid 40's |

A couple of years ago, I was kneeling in front of my 2 year old in a room that was pitch dark to me. Total blackness. She reached up with one finger and touched me on the nose.

I have always had superb night vision
It took a long time to realize that my wife and kids really couldn't see at night without light I roam all over the yard, pasture and creek without light and can see almost as good as daytime When walking at night with my wife, I have her walk several yards in front of me because I CAN'T SEE SHIT because of her flashlight

Mine's pretty bad, way worse since I had to switch to bifocals. I have some single vision glasses for driving, but they don't help all that much. I hate driving at dusk, and full dark.
