What is night blindness?
Blindness is a lack of vision. It may also refer to a loss of vision that cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses. Partial blindness means you have very limited vision. Complete blindness means you cannot see anything and do not see light. People with vision worse than 20/200 are considered legally blind in most states in the United States.

Vision Impairment and Blindness
Vision impairment, or low vision, means that even with eyeglasses, contact lenses, medicine or surgery, you don't see well. Vision impairment can range from mild to severe. The leading causes of vision impairment and blindness in the United States are age-related eye diseases: macular degeneration, cataract and glaucoma. Other eye disorders, eye injuries and birth defects can also cause vision loss. A loss of vision means that you may have to reorganize your life and learn new ways of doing things. If you have some vision, visual aids such as special glasses and large print books can make life easier. There are also devices to help those with no vision, like text-reading software and braille books.

Night Terrors
Night terrors are also called sleep terrors. Night terrors is a sleep disorder condition. Unplanned and unwanted movements and actions are seen with this disorder. Normally, sleep includes cycles of slight sleep, deep sleep, and partial (slight) waking. With night terrors, sleep is disturbed by changes in these cycles. Short periods of sudden slight waking during deep sleep occur, often in a frightened and terrified state. Your child is asleep during a night terror, and does not remember specifics of the terror except for feeling afraid. Night terrors are not the same as nightmares.
