Why do younger children struggle more to adjust to sudden bright light?

257 views

When I was little and would get up early, I always needed at least 5 minutes of squinting before my eyes were adjusted to the light. I just realized that now (as an adult) I can turn on a light and adjust within 1-2 seconds. Why is this??

For the same reason that children struggle to adjust to *anything* compared to an adult: they’re children and haven’t learnt how to adjust properly yet.
