Night blindness; the inability to see well in dim light or darkness.
From Greek 'nyx' (night) + 'alaos' (blind) + 'ops' (eye). Confusingly, the word has been used to mean BOTH night-blindness AND day-blindness at different times in history.
This word has been so CONFUSED throughout history that it's meant BOTH night-blindness AND day-blindness depending on which century you're in! Even medical terms get lost in translation across time! 👁️🌙😵
