Talk:Nyctalopia

note
I hope it can cover more on how it`s related to rhodopsin and how Vitamin A deficiency leads to night-blindness. -Syock 08:30, 26 July 2006 (UTC+9)

Nykt vs Nykta
from Greek νύκτ-, nykt- "night".......the proper word in Greek in νύχτα. Written in english letters it is nykta. Also ὄψ or ops does not means eyes. In fact I don't even think it's a word.. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.8.224.245 (talk) 22:01, 17 June 2014 (UTC)
