Diseases of the eyes (ophthalmology)

Wagner's disease: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Wagner's disease also refers to vitreoretinal dystrophies with an autosomal dominant type of inheritance. The gene responsible for the development of Wagner's disease is localized on the long arm of chromosome 5.

Goldmann-Favre disease: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Goldmann-Favre disease is a progressive vitreoretinal dystrophy with an autosomal recessive type of inheritance, which is characterized by a combination of retinitis pigmentosa with bone bodies, retinoschisis (central and peripheral) and changes in the vitreous body (degeneration with membrane formation).

Juvenile retinoschisis: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

X-linked juvenile retinoschisis is a sex-linked inherited vitreoretinal degeneration. Vision declines in the first decade of life.

Central retinal dystrophy

Involutional macular dystrophy of the retina (synonyms: age-related, senile, central chorioretinal dystrophy, age-related macular dystrophy; English: Age-related macular dystrophy - AMD) is the main cause of vision loss in people over 50 years of age.

Night blindness: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Congenital stationary night blindness, or nyctalopia (lack of night vision) is a non-progressive disease caused by dysfunction of the rod system.

Leber's amaurosis: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Leber's congenital amaurosis is the most severe manifestation of retinitis pigmentosa (generalized form), observed from birth.

Retinitis pigmentosa: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Retinitis pigmentosa (pigmentary degeneration of the retina, tapetoretinal degeneration) is a disease characterized by damage to the pigment epithelium and photoreceptors with different types of inheritance: autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive or sex-linked.

Retinal dystrophies: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Retinal dystrophy occurs as a result of dysfunction of the terminal capillaries and pathological processes in them. These changes include pigmentary retinal dystrophy, a hereditary disease of the retina.

Retinal diseases

Retinal diseases are very diverse. Retinal diseases are caused by the impact of various factors leading to pathological and pathological physiological changes, which in turn determines visual function disorders and the presence of characteristic symptoms.

Anomalies of retinal development: causes, symptoms, diagnosis, treatment

Anomalies in the development of the eye membranes are detected immediately after birth. The occurrence of anomalies is caused by gene mutations, chromosomal anomalies, and the impact of exogenous and endogenous toxic factors during the intrauterine period of development.
