You'd be amazed - I can hardly see a thing at night as I am very long sighted with a bad astigmatism... My tip for night focusing. If your taking landscapes, turn the camera to auto focus and focus on the moon, on the horizon, or on distant lights... normally one of these has enough contrast for the camera.
2nd option is to get one of the subject to hold a flashlight, focus on that, then turn of the light and shoot.
If all else fails, guess and hope. People are more forgiving in night shots. Both the 2nd two I posted above are out of focus, but that didn't stop the middle on being published in a magazine!
