Retinitis Albuminuric

Albuminuric retinitis (albinotic retinitis) is a genetic disease in which metabolism is disrupted, and this leads to degradation of the eyeball and a number of other complications. Retinitis is most often recorded in children at an early age, which is why the disease is called “the disease of the young.” Retinitis can cause blindness or complete loss of vision. The disease is an incurable chronic pathology. Treatment of the disease is aimed at maximizing the preservation of visual function and removing the symptoms of retinal damage.

The following stages of disease development are also known:

Stage I. The color of the cornea begins to change. The child develops photophobia and lacrimation. At the same time, pain is detected in a small patient, which appears when the patient tries to look down; Stage II. Here comes blindness, which is caused by pain. In this case, when performing a 2:1 test, the patient does not respond to an increase in the prism angle; Stage III is characterized by severe vision loss. This is due to significant structural changes occurring in the visual apparatus. At this stage, the visual apparatus is not able to identify the simplest visual stimuli; Stage IV. Further damage to the paired organ of vision does not allow the object to be identified by its shape (meaning size). Those cases where the patient is still sometimes able to perceive small objects are the exception rather than the rule; Stage V
