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.

Vision Changes In Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s disease (PD) often causes decline in visual acuity, dry eyes, and discomfort. Including a neuro-ophthalmologist in the healthcare team can help manage these issues. Motor symptoms include blurred vision, eye strain, reading difficulties due to slowed eye movements, and difficulty opening the eyes. Dry eyes are common as PD individuals blink less frequently than normal. Seborrheic blepharitis can intensify dry eye symptoms. Traumatic Brain Injury can impact various visual skills such as tracking, fixation, focus change, depth perception, peripheral vision, binocularity, sustaining attention, visualization, near vision acuity, distance acuity, and vision perception.

Stroke rates in Malaysia doubled from 0.3% to 0.7% between 2006 and 2011, with vision problems being a common issue among survivors. These issues include visual field loss, eye movement problems, and visual processing problems. Neuro-Optometric Vision rehabilitation is crucial for improving patients’ visual function post-stroke. Patients should consult a Neuro-optometrist for suitable treatment plans.
