WHAT DOES DAY BLINDNESS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Hemeralopia

Hemeralopia is the inability to see clearly in bright light and is the exact opposite of nyctalopia. Hemera was the Greek goddess of day and Nyx was the goddess of night. However, it has been used in an opposite sense by many non-English-speaking doctors. It can be described as insufficient adaptation to bright light. In hemeralopia, daytime vision gets worse, characterised by photoaversion rather than photophobia which is typical of inflammations of eye. Nighttime vision largely remains unchanged due to the use of rods as opposed to cones, which are affected by hemeralopia and in turn degrade the daytime optical response. Hence many patients feel they see better at dusk than in daytime.
