Most common cause of night blindness is Retinitis Pigmentosa (assuming you have no cataracts).
With nutrition levels seen in this country, the main cause of night blindness is genetic.
Nyctalopia, or night blindness, has many causes. The classic etiology is retinitis pigmentosa. But more frequent causes include myopia, cataract, and pupillary constriction. If you have poor night vision, see an ophthalmologist. SO
It's genetic. Nothing can be done is or manifest. The next generation will also be very affected.

There are many reasons for night blindness. I recommend you visit your local optometrist to get a comprehensive eye examination to find out what’s going on.
Retinitis pigmentosa. Problem with rods in the retina.
