Night blindness, or nyctalopia, is often caused by a deficiency in vitamin A, which is essential for the production of rhodopsin, a pigment in the retina that helps the eyes adapt to low light conditions. This deficiency can result from inadequate dietary intake, malabsorption disorders, or certain medical conditions. Symptoms include difficulty seeing in dim light or darkness, and if left untreated, it can lead to more severe vision problems. Ensuring sufficient vitamin A through diet or supplements can help prevent and treat this condition.
