Avoid all unnecessary movement

Off-Center Vision Method
Looking 6 to 10 degrees above, below or either side of the object rather than directly at it
Scanning Method
Look from right to left or left to right using a slow, regular scanning movement
Strip Method
Observe close to your post and search a narrow strip 50 meters or less deep, going right to left parallel to your front. Then left to right farther away, overlapping with the first

- Red light helps preserve, but seen from long distances
Factors that decrease night vision:

- Lack of oxygen
- Long exposure to sunlight
- Alcohol
- Nicotine in past 48 hours
- Age
