I see bright white in total darkness. What's wrong with my eyes?!


Question: I see bright white in total darkness!. What's wrong with my eyes!?
Recently I ended up in a country where a cloudy moonless night means total darkness!. My eyes started off seeing black, then slowly dark-gray, then gray, brightening slowly until all I saw was bright-white!. This left me completely blind; while others around me could at least see shapes in the darkness!. If there was a light source, like the headlights of a passing car, my eyes would 'reset' and I would go back to seeing black and the process would start again!.
I don't know how long this has been happening as I don't remember the last time I was anywhere that was totally dark (the woes of modern living)!.

Answers:
Most likely it's an overload of the photoreceptors when dark-adapting!. This is a hallucinatory image brought on by the overload!. Much like an after-image from a flash-bulb, only in reverse!.!.!.!.Generally not harmful unless you are trying to drive a car!.!.!.!.You should have it evaluated!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You should get your eyes medically checked!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
