Hemeralopia

HemeralopiaIntroduction Hemeralopsia is a disease that leads to impaired perception of colors in bright light during the day. This can be caused by a lack or deficiency of vitamins such as vitamin A and zinc, as well as various eye diseases such as cataracts or glaucoma. As a result, the perception of colors and brightness is impaired, which can lead to uncertainty, errors in the perception of objects and general deterioration of vision. Hemeralopia can also interfere with reading, writing, computer work, and other activities that require high visual acuity.

Symptoms of hemeropia The disease can manifest itself differently in different people, but in general, patients may have the following symptoms: - Unpleasant sensations when looking at bright lights; - Their aggravation when leaving a dark room into bright lighting; - Deterioration of vision in daylight; - Weakening of color perception; - Distorted perception of the shape and size of objects; - A sharp decrease in concentration in poor lighting; - Increased blurriness of the image when moving your gaze; - Feeling of loss of control over eye movements.

Symptoms of hemeralapi caused by the disease can significantly reduce the quality of life of patients, including the inability to drive vehicles, loss of work, deterioration in educational performance, etc.

In some cases, the disorder may cause feelings of panic as the person cannot see clearly even in normal lighting.

Possible complications of the disease include the risk of eye damage from intensive work with computers and other light sources, such as driving and excessive sports.

Treatment of hemeralapia Like any other disease, hemeralapia requires treatment, which depends on the type of disorder and its severity. For example, if symptoms are due to nutritional deficiencies, a special diet is needed. And if the cause lies in eye diseases, then treatment will consist of surgery and medication. Doctors usually prescribe special medications to improve vision function and improve metabolism in the eye.

When determining the cause of the disorder, it is important to conduct a set of laboratory tests, including biochemical and ophthalmological tests.

Self-medication in this case is unacceptable, since improper use of medications can aggravate the situation. If the symptoms are mild, you can try to cope on your own, but this can lead to undesirable consequences.
