Night Vision Adversely Affected By Alcohol



Everyone knows that alcohol adversely affects our body, but did you know that it can affect our eyes as well.

A study conducted by the University of Granada has scientifically proven that alcohol consumption markedly impairs night-vision because it increases the perception of halos - luminous circles - and other visual night-time disturbances. 

Researchers from the Laboratory of Vision Sciences and Applications conclude that alcohol deteriorates the optical quality of the image we see because, among other things, it disturbs the tear-film that covers the surface of the eye.
