How long does it take our eyes to adapt to darkness and why does it happen
Eyes need time to adjust to darkness, with pupils widening in seconds and cones adapting in minutes. Full night vision, reliant on rods and rhodopsin regeneration, takes 30 to 45 minutes. Understanding this process explains challenges in dim light and the importance of limiting bright light exposure for better adaptation.
