The Diagnosis of Wolfram Syndrome

The symptoms are very similar in the different cases: complains a strong eye pain , photophobia (sensitivity to light), eye redness , tearing

The symptoms include bilateral, painless, subacute visual failure. The symptoms will not appear until the affected individual develops visual blurring in one eye. The central visual field will be affected in this eye, and 2-3 months later, these symptoms will become apparent in the other eye (Yu-Wai-Man et al., 2011a). There are 3 points at which a mutation in the mtDNA would almost certainly result in LHON. These are m.3460G>A, m.11778G>A and m.14484T>C. This information is known because over 95% of LHON pedigrees are known to harbour one of these mtDNA point mutations. (Yu-Wai-Man et al., 2009a)

A medical definition of vision impairment is a sine qua non that prohibits 20/20 vision in one or both eyes (Bowman, Bowman, Dutton & Royal National Institute for the Blind, 2001; Vision Australia, 2015; Webster & Roe, 1998). Examples of vision impairment include, cataracts, which has the lens inside the eye increasingly cloudy; albinism, which is passed down genetically affecting clear vision and causes sensitivity to bright light; optic nerve damage, which affects field of vision as those nerves controlling vision are disrupted; macular degeneration, where parts of the retina that control colour and fine details are affected; retinitis pigmentosa, which is an ongoing reduction of the field of vision available and nystagmus, where the eye flickers involuntary (Bowman, Bowman, Dutton & Royal National Institute for the Blind, 2001; American Foundation for the Blind, 2015; Vision Australia, 2015 ; Baton Rouge Regional Eye Bank, 2015).

First of all, it is necessary to understand some of the important features of this syndrome (Naeye,

People with M.S. may have many symptoms. Impaired vision is one in which the optic nerve becomes

Per (2004-2006) records and a consultative examination (CE), the claimant reported a history of retinopathy of prematurity that caused right eye blindness since birth and a cataract in the right eye, as well as a visual field restriction (less than 20 degrees), myopia, and poor visual acuity in the left eye that required corrective eyeglasses. She also had a history of asthma and migraine headaches.

Visual fields full to confrontation except dilated right pupil due to previous surgery. Normal facial symmetry, sensation and movement. Tongue and uvula were midline. Decreased auditory acuity. Normal shoulder shrug.

HISTORY OF PRESENT ILLNESS: Patient was in bed, reading a book on his tablet computer when the words began to look “fuzzy.” In addition to the blurred vision, he also experienced a “strange feeling” in his right eye. The following morning, he had difficulty opening the right eye. Using his fingers to open the eye, he had double vision. Along with the double vision, he also experienced pain in both eyes, which worsened when looking left. His wife drove him to the on-post emergency

Eyes: Pupillary light reflex: Pupils are equal, round, reactive to light. Accommodation is present. Eyebrows, eyelids, and lashes are present, symmetric, and eyelids are a proximal completely. Conjunctive is pink, clear, with no swelling or lesions. Sclera is china white. Patient wears glasses and the glasses are in good repair. The last vision test was last spring and the patient gets an eye exam done every two years. The client states her left eye did not fully develop so she has always had bad vision in that one eye. However, when you look at the eye, you would never notice. Cataracts were removed in both eyes, but it was 3 years apart.

“Achromatopsia affects roughly 1 in 33,000 Americans.” (2) Achromatopsia is a condition in which a person loses partial or all of their ability to see color and can also be referred to as achromatism, rod monochromatism, or total color blindness. It is the result of a change in one of the following genes: CNGA3, CNGB3, GNAT2, PDE6C, or PDE6H. Achromatopsia is a disorder that affects the retina, which is the part of the eye that is sensitive to light and forms visual images. Inside the retina is two different types of light receptor cells, called rods and cones. These cells use a process called phototransduction to send visual signals from the eye to the brain. Mutations in any of the genes above disrupt the phototransduction process, affecting

A 37 year old man presented with insidious onset painless progressive diminution of vision in his right eye of 05 months duration. There was no associated history of prior ocular disease, ocular trauma or any systemic illness. His decimal best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) was 0.05 OD and 1.0 OS. On retinoscopy simple hypermetropia of +1.25 DS OD and +1.50 DS OS was noted. Anterior segment examination

Changes that occur on the long arm of Chromosome 10 (10q26 region) also contribute to the increased risk of developing ARMD. Age-Related Macular Degeneration affects the female population in the United States more than it does the male population. In a 2010 study on Prevalent Cases of Age-Related Macular Degeneration by Gender, 65% of cases affected females and 35% affected males. People who are affected by ARMD do not die as a result of this disease, they mainly suffer from the loss of sharp vision. Physically, the macula of the eye deteriorates as age increases which causes problems in seeing objects clearly and sharply. Age-Related Macular Degeneration has an estimated prevalence of 1 in 2,000 people of the United States as well as other developed countries. The prevalence of ARMD is expected to increase as the population of older people increases. ARMD typically does not have a clear-cut inheritance even though it seems to run in families. It is estimated that 15 to 20 percent of people that develop ARMD have at least one first-degree relative with this
