Optic atrophy type 1 is a condition that often causes slowly worsening vision, usually beginning in childhood. People with optic atrophy type 1 typically experience a narrowing of their field of vision (tunnel vision). Affected individuals gradually lose their sight as their field of vision becomes smaller. Both eyes are usually affected equally, but the severity of the vision loss varies widely, even among affected members of the same family, ranging from nearly normal vision to complete blindness.
Descrizione
Optic atrophy type 1 is a condition that often causes slowly worsening vision, usually beginning in childhood. People with optic atrophy type 1 typically experience a narrowing of their field of vision (tunnel vision). Affected individuals gradually lose their sight as their field of vision becomes smaller. Both eyes are usually affected equally, but the severity of the vision loss varies widely, even among affected members of the same family, ranging from nearly normal vision to complete blindness.
In addition to vision loss, people with optic atrophy type 1 frequently have problems with colour vision (colour vision deficiency) that make it difficult or impossible to distinguish between shades of blue and green.
In the early stages of the condition, individuals with optic atrophy type 1 experience a progressive loss of certain cells within the retina, which is a specialized light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye. The loss of these cells (known as retinal ganglion cells) is followed by the degeneration (atrophy) of the nerves that relay visual information from the eye to the brain (optic nerves), which results in further vision loss. Atrophy causes these nerves to have an abnormally pale appearance (pallor), which can be seen during an eye examination.

Diabete
There are two main types of diabetes - diabete di tipo 1 and type 2 diabete. Type 1 usually first develops in children or in young adults. This leaflet refers to diabete mellitus (now usually just known as diabetes); there is a separate condition called diabete insipido which is always called by its full name. It is also called DIDMOAD (because.

Diabete di tipo 1
Diabete di tipo 1 è the type of diabetes that typically develops in children and in young adults. In type 1 diabetes the body stops making insulin and the blood sugar (glucose) level... Treatment of complications Too much insulin can make the blood glucose level go too low ( ipoglicemia , sometimes called a 'hypo'). See the separate leaflets.

Problemi visivi
Visual problems can arise from problems affecting different parts of the eye. Generally speaking, the further towards the back of the eye that problems occur, the more likely they are to have a long-lasting or permanent effect on your eyesight.

Degenerazione maculare
Degenerazione maculare legata all'età is the most common cause of sight impairment in those aged over 50. It causes a gradual loss of central vision, which is needed for detailed work and for things like reading and driving. Macular degeneration (also known as age-related macular degeneration) occurs when cells in the macula - the central area of the.
