Cone-rod dystrophy is a group of inherited eye disorders that affect the retina, leading to progressive vision loss. It typically starts with:
- Loss of cone cell function: Affecting color vision, visual acuity, and central vision.
- Later involvement of rod cells: Impacting night vision and peripheral vision.
Symptoms may include:
- Difficulty with color vision
- Decreased visual acuity
- Sensitivity to light
- Night blindness (in later stages)
If you or someone you know is experiencing symptoms, consulting an optometrist or retinal specialist can provide a proper diagnosis and guidance on managing the condition.
