Stargardts
Stargardt’s
Disease is an inherited eye disorder that causes loss of central vision at a
young age. It affects the macula, the area of the eye responsible for central
vision and seeing colour and fine details. The symptoms are very similar to
Age-Related Macular Degeneration. Stargardt’s Disease causes progressive vision
loss and, in some cases, near blindness.
Strabismus
Strabismus
is an eye condition in which the eyes are not aligned properly and point in
different directions. One eye may look straight ahead, while the other may turn
inward, outward, downward or upward. The manner in which the eye turns may be
consistent or it may vary. Which eye is straight and which eye turns may also
differ.
Usher Syndrome
Usher
Syndrome is the most common condition affecting both vision and hearing. It is a
rare genetic disorder that is the main cause of deaf-blindness. The major
symptoms of Usher Syndrome are loss of hearing and an eye condition called
Retinitis Pigmentosa.
LHON
Leber's
Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) is a genetic eye disease which leads to a
sudden loss of central vision. While the condition usually emerges in a person's
teens or twenties, rare cases may appear in early childhood or later adulthood.
For unknown reasons men are more affected than women.
Albinism
Albinism
refers to a group of conditions in which people have little or no pigment in
their eyes, skin or hair. Albinism occurs due to inherited altered genes which
do not make the usual amounts of pigment called ‘melanin’. Based on the amount
of melanin in the eyes, different types of albinism can be distinguished. What
the different types have in common is that they are all associated with vision
problems.
