Achromatopsia

Understanding Achromatopsia (ACHM)

Achromatopsia (ACHM) means total color blindness. It’s a genetic condition that impacts the cones in our retina, which help us see clearly in daylight. ACHM happens because of changes in one of six genes in cone cells. These changes make the cones stop working and break down over time. This often starts at birth or in early childhood. People with ACHM have blurry vision, can’t see colors, are sensitive to light, and their eyes move in ways they can’t control.

Understanding the Interplay Between Eye-Brain Coordination and Neck-Posture Alignment

In the interconnected system of the human body, the relationship between the eyes, brain, neck, and posture is a crucial yet often overlooked aspect. This intricate interplay starts with our eyes capturing visual information, which is then processed by the brain. This process influences the neck muscles, impacting our posture. Neglecting this connection can lead to issues like neck strain and poor posture, especially in our digital age of prolonged screen time. Understanding and nurturing this eye-brain-neck axis, possibly with the help of neuro-optometry, is vital for maintaining our overall well-being and physical health.
