    Sounds very much like congenial stationary night blindness to me. I have a horse with it and he has trouble seeing when going in and out of sunlight/shade. If you've ever had night blindness...

    Because my guys are all older, non-rideable and high maintenance (expensive to keep), any remaining after I'm gone will be euthanized. My vets are all aware of this plan and in agreement with it. ...

    My husband snored loudly, and sometimes it kept me awake, but I didn't mind it all that much.
