One aid in increasing night vision effectiveness would be to

A

look directly at objects.

B

force the eyes to view off center.✓ Correct Answer

C

increase intensity of interior lighting.

Explanation

Because the center of the eye has a night blind spot, the FAA recommends viewing objects slightly off center (5 to 10 degrees) so the rod cells can see them. Looking directly at an object makes it fade, and brighter interior lighting destroys dark adaptation.
