Erythropsid (Erythropsid)

Erythropsid is a rare symptom that appears as red vision. This symptom can occur after cataract removal, as well as with snow blindness.

Cataract is an eye disease in which the lens located inside the eye becomes cloudy. This can lead to poor vision and even complete blindness. Cataract surgery can help restore vision, but patients may sometimes experience red vision, called erythropsia, after surgery.

Snow blindness is a temporary loss of vision that occurs due to bright light reflected from snow or other reflective surfaces. This may result in temporary red vision that may last for several hours or days.

The appearance of erythropsia may be associated with a change in color perception that occurs in the eye after cataract removal or with snow blindness. This may occur due to a change in the spectrum of light that passes through the eye and can cause objects to appear red.

Although erythropsia can be a rather frightening symptom, it usually goes away on its own after a few days or weeks. If erythropsia continues for a long time or is accompanied by other symptoms, such as eye pain, sudden blurred vision or dizziness, you should consult a doctor.

In general, erythropsia is a rare and usually temporary symptom that may occur after cataract surgery or snow blindness. If you notice red vision, you should consult a doctor for consultation and examination.



Erythropsia (from ancient Greek ἐρυθρός - “red” and ὄψις - “vision”) - red vision, a symptom that sometimes occurs after cataract removal, as well as with snow blindness.

With erythropsia, due to disturbances in the vitreous body and retina of the eye, objects are perceived in red tones. This is due to the fact that red rays penetrate through the cloudy media of the eye better than rays of other colors.

Erythropsia may be a temporary phenomenon after cataract surgery. It is also sometimes seen in snow blindness, when bright light is reflected from the snow.

Various methods are used to treat erythropsia depending on the cause of its occurrence. These may be conservative methods, additional operations, or the selection of corrective glasses and lenses. Complete restoration of color vision is not always possible, but modern treatment methods can significantly improve the quality of life of patients with erythropsia.



Erythropsia is a rare eye disease caused by pathologies of the hematopoietic system. The disease is characterized by clouding of the optical media of the eye due to the accumulation of a huge amount of blood pigments. Experts believe that visual disturbances occur due to the breakdown of hemoglobin in the capillaries in the peripheral areas of the fundus of the eye. The appearance of red areas in the vitreous body causes pain, burning sensation, severe headache and limited eye mobility. As for health consequences, the disease is considered a serious complication of blood and vascular pathologies, from which the patient can die. Early detection of eye diseases is important; they can be caused by serious problems in the body. Which leads to a variety of complications. Treatment is carried out surgically. Either the clouded cornea or the anterior chamber is removed. In 96% of cases, laser therapy is used. With timely help, diseases can be treated. Changes occur in the activity of all human organs and systems under the influence of unfavorable environmental factors, and the risk of developing chronic diseases increases. Resistant forms of infection caused by opportunistic microorganisms are developing, and the frequency of nonspecific processes is increasing. All over the world, including in Russia, the role of immunology is increasing in providing quick and adequate medical intervention. The most common factors leading to the chronicization of diseases are errors and failures in treatment, such as the prescription of antimicrobial drugs for viral infections, non-core use of antibiotics, and lack of funding. Bacterial complications of the disease occur more often, because Bacteria almost always accompany any disease. Bacteria remain a defining element of immunopathology. Unfortunately, the doctor does not have immunological and genomic diagnostic methods, which eliminate the need for research in other clinical disciplines when studying the causes of the disease. The diagnosis is based on data from a physical examination, laboratory tests (
