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.
