The process where the pupils recover visual sensitivity following
exposure to low-light condition is called glare recovery. It may <span>take more seconds or minutes when the new light level is considerably
dimmer than the previous one. In this time, the eye remains relatively blind to
the detail but the eyes have the ability to recover this condition.</span>
The answer is glare recovery. This is the speed with which the pupils return to normal when low-light conditions have been restored. Glare recovery denotes to the process in which the eyes recover visual sensitivity succeeding exposure to a source of glare, such as oncoming headlights when driving at night. Prolonged dark adaptation is associated with normal aging and results in decreased visual acuity at night.
