Peer comment(s):

agree Translation Link : That's the medical term for night blindness. If it's a decrease in night vision in this case then it might be slight hesperanopia...

That's the literal translation of the term, however there is a medical term that describes the inherited medical condition:

Achromatopsia is an inherited condition that affects approximately 1 in every 33,000 Americans. It is also known as rod monochromatism. This condition is associated with color blindness, visual acuity loss, extreme light sensitivity and nystagmus. It is a condition found throughout the world with varying incidence.

Please disregard the above color blindness comment as it's irrelevant to the night blindness indicated below... Thanks.
