Distraction Sickle

Dystrophic eye disorders, including crescent reflexes in the optic nerve, are common among people suffering from myopia. However, what is sickle vision and how does it affect our vision?

Crescent vision is a sharply defined and thin white line observed during ophthalmoscopic examination during an ophthalmology consultation. In this case, the falciform process may involve areas above and below the temporal half of the optic disc. The form usually appears in patients with mild myopia, and is associated with a displacement of the optic canal.

The causes of crescentic vision are usually genetic and can appear early in development in many children. It involves abnormal development of the optic nerve and the tissues around it, leading to disruption of the proper formation and functioning of the eye.

The symptom is usually detected in the early stages of myopia or low vision and does not always require treatment. Often this happens in the same way as in normal people. However, in some cases, this can lead to vision complications and other ophthalmological problems. Therefore, if the crescent-shaped reflection begins to interfere with vision and cause problems with work, communication or sports, it is recommended to consult an eye doctor

A distraction sickle is an ophthalmological pathology in which the patient develops a disc-shaped protrusion, shaped like a narrow strip of white color. The crescent-shaped bulge is located in the central part of the visual organ. This element is detected by examining the eye using an ophthalmoscope. Such changes usually accompany the disease myopia. When the functioning of the visual organs is impaired, formations in the central zone are not always recorded.
