Seeing better in the dark is possible.

As we grow older our vision digresses and we may have trouble seeing in the dark. However, there are things that we can do to increase our night vision for the long term and short term.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    When wanting to look at something in the dark use your peripheral vision by looking indirectly at the object instead of staring directly at it.

  2. Step 2

    If possible get lower then the object you are trying to look at.

  3. Step 3

    To increase your ability to see in the dark in the long term make sure to include carrots (for the vitamin A) and bilberry's (for the anthocyanims.)

Tips & Warnings
  • Bilberry's can usually be found at local natural food stores. Bilberry's is said to help repair the retinas in eyes do to age an general wear and tare. In World War II pilots used bilberry's to enhance their night vision.
