The duration and recurrence of symptoms depend on the underlying cause and the individual’s age or stage of life. Cyanopsia is most commonly reported in older adults after cataract surgery, where symptoms typically subside within a few days to weeks as the eyes adapt to the synthetic lens.
Acute posterior multifocal placoid pigment epitheliopathy primarily occurs in adults (with a mean age of 27). [1] Symptoms include blurred vision in both eyes, but the onset may occur at a different time in each eye. There are yellow-white placoid lesions in the posterior pole at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium. Some suggest a ...
Phthisis bulbi is a shrunken, [1] non-functional eye. It may result from severe eye disease, inflammation [2] or injury, or it may represent a complication of eye surgery. [3] Treatment options include insertion of a prosthesis, which may be preceded by enucleation of the eye. [4] [5]
A clue to the cause of intoxication is the presence of oxalate crystals in the urine. Like methanol intoxication, treatment is ethanol consumption. Ethambutol, a drug commonly used to treat tuberculosis, is notorious for causing toxic optic neuropathy. People with vision loss from ethambutol toxicity lose vision in both eyes equally.
Recently, central serous chorioretinopathy has been understood to be part of the pachychoroid spectrum. [5] [6] In pachychoroid spectrum disorders, of which CSR represents stage II, the choroid, the highly vascularized layer below the retina, is thickened and congested with increased blood vessel diameter, especially in the deep choroid (the so-called Haller's layer).
Photokeratitis or ultraviolet keratitis is a painful eye condition caused by exposure of insufficiently protected eyes to the ultraviolet (UV) rays from either natural (e.g. intense direct or reflected sunlight) or artificial (e.g. the electric arc during welding) sources.
In 1991, police discovered Jeffrey Dahmer had 84 polaroid photos depicting 17 murders he committed between 1978 to 1991. The act is shown in 'Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story' on Netflix.
Diagram of the human eye showing macula and fovea. Although J. D. Gass originally identified four types of idiopathic juxtafoveolar retinal telangiectasis in 1982, contemporary researchers describe three types collectively known as idiopathic juxtafoveal telangiectasia: macular telangiectasia type 1, macular telangiectasia type 2, and macular telangiectasia type 3.
