moon-blind
Can't see evenings
Moon-blind describes a condition in horses characterized by recurring inflammation of the eye, historically believed to be influenced by lunar cycles.
The term extends to general night blindness or poor vision in dim light.
Figuratively, someone moon-blind is oblivious or unable to see what's plainly there: He was moon-blind to her obvious affection.
