Typhlostasis

Typhlostasis is a delay or arrest in the development of the visual organ in children. This condition can be caused by various factors such as congenital abnormalities, trauma, infections, tumors and other diseases.

With typhlostasis, there is a delay in the growth and development of the eyeball, as well as dysfunction of the optic nerve and retina. This can lead to decreased visual acuity, impaired color vision and other visual impairments.

Treatment for typhlostasis depends on the cause of its occurrence and may include surgery, drug therapy, physical therapy and other treatment methods. In some cases, a cornea transplant or lens replacement may be required.

It is important to note that typhlostasis can be caused by various reasons, so to diagnose and treat this condition it is necessary to consult a specialist.

Typhlostasis is a pathological condition in which there is a delay in the development and formation of visual perception in a child or person with vision pathology. Typically, the development of visual acuity is impaired before the age of five years. But, if the change has already taken place by this moment, then we are talking about a congenital pathology. In addition, this concept is used in medical practice, and is expressed in the absence (or delay) of the development of visual functions in sighted people. This syndrome is also called “refractive atypia.”

The reasons for the development of the syndrome are most often explained by irreversible processes and the lack of timely correction of disorders or the use of incorrect tactics for its implementation, as a result of which the functioning of the optical system of the eye is disrupted. Sometimes dysfunction of this type is caused by taking certain medications.

Manifestations of typhlosis are not always obvious, but even a minimal degree of delay in the formation of visual analyzers leads to partial or complete loss of vision. It is quite difficult to identify the pathology of the visual system from visual stimuli, especially in infants, but they very often suffer from typhostasis. In addition to changes in acuity, there may be strabismus, nystagmus and amblyopia. Adult patients often develop xerophthalmos. The initial stages of glaucoma may occur.
