Comments and Conclusion (cont'd) Although achromatopsia is thought to be a stationary disorder, on SD-OCT examination in a recent study of 40 achromats, initial features of cone cell decay were disruption of the PIL (IS/OS junction or ciliary layer) and the presence of a 'bubble' in the cone outer segments, followed by complete degeneration of
Comments and Conclusions Achromatopsia, also known as rod monochromatism, is a congenital ocular disorder characterized by total color blindness, low visual acuity, photophobia, and nystagmus. It is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, with an estimated prevalence of 1/30,000.6 Complete achromatopsia is associated with total lack of color vision due to the loss of functioning
Case 9: Fundus Albi with Cone Dystrophy Cirrus™ HD-OCT Images OU Case 9: A 64-year-old male who first noticed difficulty with night vision at about age 9 and difficulty reading and seeing faces at age 18 or so. BCVA measured 20/400 OU. OCT sections of the atrophic central lesion reveal a very thin
