Have you heard of"TRANSIENT ADAPTATION"??
👂🏻Come closer let's talk👇🏻
Transient adaptation is the phenomenon whereby the eyes makes a quick and temporary adjustments when moving between different light levels.
👁️When you are out on a sunny day the pupils construct to limit the amount of light entering the eyes,but when you enter inside the pupils take a little time or seconds to dilate as well as adjust to the new light levels hence causing temporary visual disturbance or blindness. I believe everyone have experienced this at one point or the other.
👁️As a matter of fact this is temporary and normal.
