It typically takes about 20-30 minutes for your eyes to fully adjust to the dark. During this time, your pupils dilate to let in more light, allowing you to see better in low-light conditions.
It can take up to 20-30 minutes for your eyes to fully adjust to low light and reach their best night vision capability. This process, known as dark adaptation, allows your eyes to become more sensitive to light in the dark.
you're eye's sensitive to the light so are they sensitive to the dark too? It does take some time for your eyes to get used to the dark but you're eyes aren't going to be very sensitive looking into a dark room opposed to looking at the sun. The dark can make you're eyes puffy if you keep your eyes shut for a long time int the dark.
When you enter a dark room after being in a bright room, your eyes will take some time to adjust to the lower light levels. This is due to the pupil size adjusting to let in more light in the dark room, and the photoreceptor cells in the retina needing time to become more sensitive to low light conditions.
adjusts as your eyes become more sensitive to the low light levels. This process, called dark adaptation, involves the eyes increasing the production of a pigment called rhodopsin to improve visibility in the dark environment. It can take several minutes for your eyes to fully adapt to the darkness.
The pupil dilates in response to darkness to allow more light to enter the eye, improving visibility in low-light conditions. This process is controlled by the autonomic nervous system, specifically the sympathetic nervous system, which helps us see more clearly in the dark.
A cat's eyes can fully adjust to darkness in 20 to 30 minutes. As with people, this time can vary depending on the age and breed of the cat.
It can take up to 20-30 minutes for your eyes to fully adjust to low light and reach their best night vision capability. This process, known as dark adaptation, allows your eyes to become more sensitive to light in the dark.
My experience has been 2 to 5 days, depending on the change in prescription.
a few minutes--it takes longer to adjust to darkness than to adjust to light fun fact: people who lack vitamin A often suffer from night blindness
your eyes absorb the light that it was just in and allow you to see even if there is only a little bit of light peeking in you would be able to see though just after the lights go out it may take a few seconds to let your eyes adjust to the change of lighting
It will take the body a few months to adjust.

Mythbusters just did a couple of shows about this. Your eye has two light sensors, rods and cones. The cones pick up colors, and are used when there is ample light. The cones are much more sensitive to light, but do not have color sensors; that is why at night, everything seems black and white. Now, a couple of things happen when you go from a brightly lit area to a dark one. First, your pupils have to adjust; the iris of your eyes (the colored part) opens up to let in more light. This can take a couple of seconds to happen. More importantly, the rods (the part that are more sensitive and therefore let you see in lower light) get "bleached out" by bright light; it can take up to about 20 minutes for your rods to completely adjust to the darkness. This is why when you go from a brightly lit area to a dark one, it can take a bit for your eyes to "adjust to the light". Similarly, when you go from a dark room to bright light, the pupils haven't had time to close yet, and you let too much light into your eyes; that's why it "hurts" for a moment.

In darkness, your eyes dilate to let in more light, allowing your retinas to capture more available light. This process helps you see better in low-light conditions by making the most of the limited light available. It can take up to 30 minutes for your eyes to fully adjust to complete darkness.
