  2. Ocular ischemic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocular_ischemic_syndrome

    Ocular ischemic syndrome is the constellation of ocular signs and symptoms secondary to severe, chronic arterial hypoperfusion to the eye. [1] Amaurosis fugax is a form of acute vision loss caused by reduced blood flow to the eye; it may be a warning sign of an impending stroke, as both stroke and retinal artery occlusion can be caused by thromboembolism due to atherosclerosis elsewhere in the ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_disc_drusen

    In children, optic disc drusen are usually buried and undetectable by fundoscopy except for a mild or moderate elevation of the optic disc. With age, the overlying axons become atrophied and the drusen become exposed and more visible. They may become apparent with an ophthalmoscope and some visual field loss at the end of adolescence. [7]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinal_vasculopathy_with...

    Retinal microvascular disease is noninflammatory and resembles that of diabetic retinopathy. This leads to partial or complete vision loss. [6] Headaches due to multiple factors including brain lesions, edema, and papilledema. Mental confusion, loss of cognitive function, loss of memory, slowing of speech and hemiparesis due to brain lesions.

  5. Optic neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optic_neuropathy

    The main symptom is loss of vision, with colors appearing subtly washed out in the affected eye. A pale disc is characteristic of long-standing optic neuropathy. In many cases, only one eye is affected and a person may not be aware of the loss of color vision until the examiner asks them to cover the healthy eye.

  6. Cortical blindness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cortical_blindness

    For instance, patients with bilateral occipital lesions have a much lower chance of recovering vision than patients who suffered a transient ischemic attack or women who experienced complications associated with eclampsia. [2] [3] In patients with acquired cortical blindness, a permanent complete loss of vision is rare. [2]

  7. Ischemic optic neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ischemic_optic_neuropathy

    Ischemic optic neuropathy (ION) is the loss of structure and function of a portion of the optic nerve due to obstruction of blood flow to the nerve (i.e. ischemia).Ischemic forms of optic neuropathy are typically classified as either anterior ischemic optic neuropathy or posterior ischemic optic neuropathy according to the part of the optic nerve that is affected.

  8. Central serous chorioretinopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Central_serous_chorio...

    Recently, central serous chorioretinopathy has been understood to be part of the pachychoroid spectrum. [5] [6] In pachychoroid spectrum disorders, of which CSR represents stage II, the choroid, the highly vascularized layer below the retina, is thickened and congested with increased blood vessel diameter, especially in the deep choroid (the so-called Haller's layer).

  9. Kjer's optic neuropathy - Wikipedia

    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 ...
