  2. Entoptic phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Entoptic_phenomenon

    The first two sort of floaters may collect over the fovea (the center of vision), and therefore be more visible, when a person is lying on his or her back looking upwards. Blue field entoptic phenomenon has the appearance of tiny bright dots moving rapidly along squiggly lines in the visual field.

  3. Scintillating scotoma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scintillating_scotoma

    Many variations occur, but scintillating scotoma usually begins as a spot of flickering light near or in the center of the visual field, which prevents vision within the scotoma area. It typically affects both eyes, as it is not a problem specific to one eye. [5] [6] The affected area flickers but is not dark. It then gradually expands outward ...

    However, this therapy was less efficient for older dogs. [8] In 2022, 4 young human ACHM2 and ACHM3 achromats were shown to have neurological responses (as measured with fMRI) to photopic vision that matched patterns generated by their scotopic vision after gene therapy. This inferred a photopic cone-driven system that was at least marginally ...

  8. Blue-cone monochromacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blue-cone_monochromacy

    Gene therapy is a general treatment for genetic disorders; it uses viral vectors to carry typical genes into cells (e.g. cone cells) that are not able to express functional genes (e.g. photopsins). It may be possible to restore color vision by adding missing opsin genes – or a functional copy of the entire gene complex – into the cone cells.
