Best Answer

Rhodopsin is a chemical that is kicked in when your eye is exposed for more than 10 seconds in the dark. It helps a little in seeing a basic outline of what is in front of you. Unless exposed to red light, it disappears and causes your vision to be blurred until you are used to the light.
