I remember being 12 or 13, and opening the curtains in my bedroom so the streetlight would shine through the window and I could read the Lord of the Rings books in that light after my mom made me turn the lights off and go to bed... I still have amazing night vision, so that’s definitely not true.

God must have blessed you with a superior retinal rod density, compared to someone like me who has substandard night vision.

You will have that anatomical component all of your life, but your nocturnal/scotopic performance will eventually decline, due to other mechanisms, with age.
