Loss of vision in the dark, eye pain when looking at strong light is what disease?

Question
Hello doctor,
Recently, my eyes have decreased vision when walking in the dark. When I look at bright light, my eyes hurt. When I was on the road at night, I couldn't see anything except the car lights. So the doctor asked me to ask if my vision is reduced when it is dark, what is eye pain when looking at strong light? I thank you doctor.
