Is it possible for humans to see perfectly in the dark?

Question

my girlfriend can apparently see perfectly in rooms that are almost completely dark. She can point out almost any object and the color of it when it's very hard to see anything at all in the room. I've never heard of anyone being able to do this so I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but I was looking to see if there were any scientific facts to explain this.

Answer 1

I have never heard of it at all before in my life. I have been an optician for 27 years. Maybe she just knows before it gets dark what is in the room. Women can be wiley! Have a great day!

Answer 2

Actually humans have pretty good vision in low light situations.
