Diseases of the eyes (ophthalmology)

Different eye colors in humans: as they say, causes

In most cases, different pigmentation of the iris is a genetic disorder that passes from generation to generation. According to medical statistics, it occurs in 10 out of 1000 people.

Tritanopia: the world in a changed color

With this anomaly, either the absence of the OPN1SW type S-flasks in the retina, or their genetically determined dystrophy, or a pathological change in the structure of the photopigment of iodopsin sensitive to the blue light spectrum is noted.

Anophthalmia: when you can not see the world with your own eyes

The eyes are not accidentally called the mirror of the soul, because they are a reflection of how we perceive the world. And we perceive it with the help of the senses, among which the paired organ of vision occupies one of the leading places.

Deuteranopia - lack of color vision

What it is? This is such a lack of color vision, when the retina does not respond to the green color of the spectrum. In ICD-10, this visual impairment, like other color perception abnormalities, has the code - H53.5

Protanopia

To see the world in colors allows our visual system's ability to perceive waves of light radiation of various lengths, corresponding to colors and shades, and transform them into a holistic sense of a color picture of the surrounding reality.

Severe visual impairment, much less his absence, greatly reduces the quality of life, so we try to protect our eyes from all sorts of injuries so as not to lose the ability to see.

Heterophoria in children and adults
