“What does it mean to have bad vision at night?”
I'm 52 years old and I noticed that my vision is really bad at night- to the point where I can't drive sometimes. Why is my vision becoming like this?

Nyctalopia is a symptom that requires a complete ophthalmic exam to rule out disorders such as retinitis pigmentosa, cataracts, diabetes, glaucoma and vitamin A deficiency
You are likely developing cataracts. See an ophthalmologist.
You need a complete eye exam. Could be a cataract, which is treatable. Other possibility is a retinal problem that is important to diagnose early with testing.
This very likely means that you have problems with the retina, the film in the back of the eye that takes the picture (as opposed to the focusing by the lens in the front). You need to have special pictures taken of the retina yearly to diagnose and prevent such problems from developing such as macular degeneration or diabetic macular problems. They cannot be seen by the doctor just examining the back of the eye through the pupil.
There are many possible reasons, I would recommend getting an eye exam from an ophthalmologist.
Could be several things 1 dry eye 2 uncorrected astygmatism 3 or possibly cataract you need to get checked to find out the cause
Difficult to determine without exam. As we age our eyes undergo changes that affect how we see things. Contact your local eye professional for evaluation.
Most likely you are developing cataracts. This is blocking light making night driving difficult
Refractive errors, cataracts or macular degeneration are possible causes
