Doctors/experts in the house, what is this condition called? Is it curable?

There is this story that was showing at the Citizen showing some children who sees perfectly at night but are blind during the day.

Hemeralopia is the name. It's characterized by an aversion to light. Treatment/management depends on the cause.

Matters genetic are probably a bit difficult for the average guy to comprehend, especially when you start talking of recessive vs. dominant genes, carriers, etc. As long as the couple are not themselves sick, even though they be carriers of the gene, they'll probably keep reproducing in the vain hope that they'll get at least one kid who'll be normal. Sad but it happens. Saw the same with a couple whose two kids had muscle dystrophy.

Aha, that's nyctalopia, or what we commonly know as night blindness. Commonly caused by malnutrition (lack of vitamin A) but may also be congenital (retinitis pigmentosa), due to injury or caused by some medications.

As with hemeralopia, management/treatment of night blindness will, too, depend on the cause.

Ya paka si ugonjwa, that's what is normal for that species. Something about rods and cones, my memory fails me.
