The white dots are small and located in the posterior pole at the level of the retinal pigment epithelium. The white dots may disappear after the first few weeks of the disease. The cause is generally unknown, but a viral illness has been reported prior to multiple evanescent white dot syndrom in one-third of cases. [2]
Meesmann corneal dystrophy is a non-inflammatory condition that effects the restricted region of the cornea epithelium which is the outermost layer. [2] Onset of symptoms begin during infancy or early childhood but may not become noticeable or problematic for many years.
Corneal dystrophies were commonly subdivided depending on its specific location within the cornea into anterior, stromal, or posterior according to the layer of the cornea affected by the dystrophy. [citation needed] In 2015 the ICD3 classification was published. [5] and has classified disease into four groups as follows:
Visual snow syndrome (VSS) is an uncommon neurological condition in which the primary symptom is that affected individuals see persistent flickering white, black, transparent, or colored dots across the whole visual field. [7] [4] Other common symptoms are palinopsia, enhanced entoptic phenomena, photophobia, and tension headaches.
Diagnosis includes dilated fundus examination to rule out posterior uveitis, which presents with white spots across the retina along with retinitis and vasculitis. [ 1 ] Laboratory testing is usually used to diagnose specific underlying diseases, including rheumatologic tests (e.g. antinuclear antibody, rheumatoid factor) and serology for ...
Leukocoria (also white pupillary reflex) is an abnormal white reflection from the retina of the eye. Leukocoria resembles eyeshine , but leukocoria can also occur in animals that lack eyeshine because their retina lacks a tapetum lucidum .
The corneal limbus is the border between the cornea and the sclera. [1] It is highly vascularised. [1] Its stratified squamous epithelium is continuous with the epithelium covering the cornea. [2] The corneal limbus contains radially-oriented fibrovascular ridges known as the palisades of Vogt that contain limbal stem cells.
CorT utilizes data from all Placido rings across the cornea compared with SimK, which is based on only one ring. [9] [10] While corneal topography relies on reflected light from the front (anterior) of the cornea, a technique called corneal tomography also provides a measure of the back (posterior) shape of the cornea.
