  2. Optic disc drusen - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_disc_drusen

    A necropsy study of 737 cases showed a 2.4% incidence with 2 out of 15 (13%) bilateral, [2] perhaps indicating the insidious nature of many cases. An autosomal dominant inheritance pattern with incomplete penetrance and associated inherited dysplasia of the optic disc and its blood supply is suspected.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kjer's_optic_neuropathy

    Vision loss in dominant optic atrophy is due to optic nerve fiber loss from mitochondria dysfunction. Dominant optic atrophy is associated with mutation of the OPA1 gene [9] found on chromosome 3, region q28-qter. Also, 5 other chromosomal genes are described as causing optic atrophy: OPA2 (x-linked), OPA3 (dominant), OPA4 (dominant), OPA5 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinoschisis

    Retinoschisis is an eye disease characterized by the abnormal splitting of the retina's neurosensory layers, usually in the outer plexiform layer.Retinoschisis can be divided into degenerative forms which are very common and almost exclusively involve the peripheral retina and hereditary forms which are rare and involve the central retina and sometimes the peripheral retina.

  5. Optic neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_neuropathy

    The optic nerve contains axons of nerve cells that emerge from the retina, leave the eye at the optic disc, and go to the visual cortex where input from the eye is processed into vision. There are 1.2 million optic nerve fibers that derive from the retinal ganglion cells of the inner retina. [ 2 ]

  6. Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Familial_exudative_vitreo...

    The retina is the layer of tissue at the back of the eye that receives light and converts it into a signal which travels along the optic nerve to be processed into visual perception by the brain. Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR, pronounced as fever) is a genetic disorder affecting the growth and development of blood vessels in the ...

  7. Chronic relapsing inflammatory optic neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chronic_relapsing...

    Bilateral severe visual loss (simultaneous or sequential) usually occurs, but there are reports of unilateral visual loss. [3] Patients can have an associated relative afferent pupillary defect. [5] CRION is associated with at least one relapse, and up to 18 relapses have been reported in an individual. [6]

  8. Toxic and nutritional optic neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxic_and_nutritional...

    Vision loss in toxic and nutritional optic neuropathy is bilateral, symmetric, painless, gradual, and progressive. Dyschromatopsia, a change in color vision, is often the first symptom. Some patients notice that certain colors, particularly red, are less bright or vivid; others have a general loss of color perception.
