Abstract Background: The purpose of this study is to determine the genetic association and compare the distribution of ABCA4 gene variants in patients with various inherited retinal dystrophies, including autosomal recessive cone-rod dystrophy (AR-CRD) autosomal recessive retinitis pigmentosa (AR-RP) in the South Indian cohorts. Methods: This study included nineteen probands, ophthalmic examination of all the probands were carefully evaluated by the Paediatric Ophthalmologist. Eleven of the nineteen probands had the clinical phenotype of AR-CRD, eight showed AR-RP-like clinical phenotype. Genomic DNA was extracted from their peripheral blood, the exon and intronic boundaries of the ABCA4 gene were screened using the Sanger sequencing to identify the genetic association of these two retinal dystrophies. Results: Sanger sequencing results revealed that only 18% (2/11) of AR-CRD probands had disease-causing ABCA4 mutations, while the remaining 9 AR-CRD, 8 AR-RP were negative for the pathogenic variant associated with ABCA4. Furthermore, this study identified 18 common SNPs of the ABCA4 (2 missense, 3 synonymous, 13 intronic variants) and found them associated with AR-CRD and AR-RP probands. Conclusion:This is the first study to show that two missense variants in the ABCA4 (c.302T > C, c.1319A > G) are associated with AR-CRD probands and two rare NNCS variants (c.3191-10G > T, c.3814-5G > A) associated with AR-RP patients from the South Indian population.

What are common corneal disorders?

There are several common corneal disorders that can affect the clarity, shape, and overall health of the cornea. Here are a few examples:

Keratoconus: This is a progressive disorder in which the cornea thins and bulges into a cone-like shape. It causes distorted vision, astigmatism, and sensitivity to light. In early stages, glasses or soft contact lenses may help, but advanced cases might require specialty contact lenses or even corneal transplantation.

Corneal Dystrophies: These are inherited conditions that affect the cornea's clarity due to abnormal deposits or changes in its layers. Examples include Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy and lattice dystrophy. Treatments vary depending on the specific dystrophy, and in some cases, a corneal transplant might be needed.

Corneal Ulcers: These are open sores on the cornea, often caused by infections (bacterial, viral, or fungal). They can result in redness, pain, tearing, and vision disturbances. Prompt treatment with antibiotics, antiviral drugs, or antifungal medications is essential to prevent complications.

Corneal Abrasions: These are superficial scratches on the corneal surface, often caused by trauma or foreign objects. While they usually heal on their own, they can be painful and increase the risk of infection. Medical attention might be necessary to prevent complications.

Corneal Ectasia: This refers to the thinning and distortion of the cornea, leading to a change in its shape. Keratoconus is one example of corneal ectasia. It can result in irregular astigmatism and blurred vision.

Corneal Infections (Keratitis): Infections of the cornea can be bacterial, viral, or fungal in nature. They can cause redness, pain, blurred vision, and light sensitivity. Treatment involves addressing the underlying cause with appropriate medications.

Corneal Scarring: Scarring can occur due to various reasons, including trauma, infections, or previous surgeries. Corneal scars can affect vision, and treatment options might include contact lenses, surgical interventions, or other corrective measures.

Corneal Edema: This is the swelling of the cornea due to an imbalance in the corneal endothelium's fluid-pumping function. Conditions like Fuchs' endothelial dystrophy can lead to corneal edema and cloudy vision.

Pterygium: A pterygium is a non-cancerous growth of tissue on the conjunctiva (the clear tissue that covers the white part of the eye) that can extend onto the cornea. It might cause discomfort and vision problems if it interferes with the visual axis.

These are just a few examples of common corneal disorders. If you suspect you have a corneal issue or experience changes in your vision, it's important to consult an eye care professional for an accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment recommendations.

AI Tool Can Detect Rare And Inherited Retinal Disease In 75% Of Cases

An AI (artificial intelligence) tool was able to detect more than 75% of hereditary retinal dystrophy (IRD) cases by scanning the eye. Hereditary retinal dystrophies are a set of rare diseases, inherited from parents to children, with different patterns of genetic inheritance, and can cause degeneration of cones and rods, light receptor cells present in the organ, causing progressive visual…

Identifying successful outcomes in the retinitis pigmentosa treatment

One challenge of having a loved one suffering with retinitis pigmentosa is struggling to understand about what they are going through. This is also crucial especially considering that the same is progressive.

 If the issue is present with a kid then retinitis pigmentosa treatment must be undertaken with immediate effect. Minus this, the child will feel uncomfortable and terrified which may cause them to withdraw from social circle. 

 Managing retinitis pigmentosa

As stated before, the problem is a visual condition that can quickly become a social condition. Such patients need a good support system and family members need to work and adapt. They must also offer constant psychological support and encouragement to help the kid face this issue easily and navigate through the tough challenges.

 How does this issue occur?

 Retina is a layer that is responsible for converting light into electric signals and the same is interpreted by the brain to help you to "see". Retinitis pigmentosa can be any inherited disease that affects the retina and its functioning. This issue can also be caused by other problems like -

Cone-rod dystrophy

Usher syndrome 

Leber congenital amaurosis

Congenital stationary night blindness, etc.

 Such an issue will impact the vision even if other aspects of the eye are working fine. 

 How does retinitis pigmentosa impact on the vision?

The retina carries special photoreceptor cells that includes rods, cones, etc. It is important that all these cells function correctly for the right vision. 

The impact of retinitis pigmentosa varies as each disorder has its own set of challenges as for some it can be low vision and for others, it can be something extreme.

The changes in the vision occur from childhood itself yet these are too slow. In certain cases, the loss can be continuous while for others, it can be for a specific time.

Thus, if your loved one has been diagnosed with the issue, it is best to seek genetic testing and timely retinitis pigmentosa treatment in India. Doing so will help to determine the mutation and the extent of the progression of the same. 

 Early signs of retinitis pigmentosa 

 The early signs of the issue are - 

Problems with the night vision

Problems seeing dim light

Blind spots in side vision

 In later stages, this may be -

Sensation of twinkling or flashing lights

Tunnel vision

Sensitivity to bright light

Extremely low vision, etc.

 How can retinitis pigmentosa be managed?

 Here are some of the common ways to manage the issue -

Using low vision aids and devices like     magnifier, etc.

Using special sunglasses and other methods to     avoid exposure to light.

Treating the underlying conditions like     cystoid macular edema, cataracts, etc.

 When to contact my eye care specialist?

It is recommended to consult your eye care specialist on regular basis. However, it is recommended to contact them if there is a noticeable progression in the condition or development of a new issue like -

Loss of vision in terms of colour and clarity.

Feeling pain or discomfort in the eye.

Cornea or Keratoconus Treatment In Mumbai

Cornea is the first coat of eye which is transparent circular structure. Functionally it acts as a lens responsible for focusing rays inside the eye. It is an important optical structure through which rays of light enter the eye. Any damage or injury to this delicate structure can lead to permanent loss of corneal transparency or in other words cause clouding and opacification.

Loss of corneal transparency prevents the entry of light rays into the eye and reduces vision. In cases of severe of damage, this can cause total loss of vision making the person visually handicapped. There are other conditions also such as malnutrition, Vitamin A deficiency, infection, certain corneal diseases such as ‘keratoconus’ and ‘corneal degeneration’, which can cause corneal blindness.

Corneal disease is third largest cause of blindness or low vision in Indian population. Corneal disorders encompass a wide spectrum of diseases most common of these are pterygium, Keratoconus, corneal dystrophy, corneal tears, corneal oedema, infective keratitis, contact lens related keratitis, allergic keratoconjunctivitis, each of these diseases need methodical approach and specialized care.

Pterygium

Pterygium is a veil like lesion that usually occurs in exposed part of white of the eye. This grows slowly over the cornea (the central black portion) and can obstruct vision or deteriorate vision by inducing cylindrical power.

Symptoms of pterygium may include:

Burning

Gritty feeling

Itching

Sensation of a foreign body in the eye

Blurred vision

Causes of Pterygium : significant risk factors include:

Prolonged exposure to ultraviolet light

Dry eye

Irritants such as dust and wind

Treatment of Pterygium

Pterygium is not only cosmetically disfiguring but can affect the vision also. In view of this it is advisable to surgically excise it at the earliest. Surgical excision of pterygium is a simple day care procedure with no adverse effects.

Latest surgery method involves removing the pterygium tissue and placing a healthy tissue on bare area which prevents recurrence and is cosmetically very rewarding.

Surgery for pterygium is minimally invasive, sutureless and is very safe.

Pterygium does not respond to medical treatment of any kind be it in form of eye drops or ointment and surgical excision is the treatment of choice.

Keratoconus

It is a progressive disease of the outer transparent layer of the eyeball (cornea) affecting young adults mostly in their twenties. It is characterized by progressive thinning of the normally round cornea causing it to bulge forward & assume a cone like shape. This irregularity in the cornea results in the formation of a distorted image of objects on the retina & gives rise to blurred vision.

Symptoms & signs of Keratoconus

Keratoconus causes myopia or nearsightedness & astigmatism.

Frequent change in glasses prescription with fluctuation in vision.

Glare & sensitivity to light especially during night.

In advanced stage of Keratoconus corrective prescription glasses do not help patient to see clearly & they have to switch to using hard or semi-soft contact lenses.

Keratoconus can be diagnosed at an early stage with detailed eye examination which includes Retinoscopy,

Slit lamp examination & sophisticated tests like Topography to check the shape & curvature of cornea & Pachymetry to determine the thickness of the cornea.

Causes

Exact causes of Keratoconus is not known but latest research suggests that the cornea becomes weakened due to an imbalance of enzymes within the corneal tissue. Young patients produce high levels of free radicals which cause oxidative damage to the cornea in absence of protective enzymes causing thinning & bulging of the cornea.

Keratoconus also shows some genetic predisposition. It may transmit from parent to children & affect more than one family member. It is also associated with excessive rubbing as it is more common in allergic conjunctivitis patients who have itching & tend to rub their eyes more frequently.

Other risk factors are overexposure to ultra violet rays, chronic eye irritation & improperly fitting contact lenses.

Treatment Options  

In early stages, when the cornea is still regular, corrective prescription glasses or soft contact lenses can help the patient. As keratoconus advances, the corneal surface becomes increasingly irregular & these options do not help adequately. In intermediate & advanced stage, various other treatment options & different types of contact lenses are available.

Rigid Gas permeable contact lenses : provide a smooth refractive surface replacing the irregular cone like surface of the cornea, thus enabling the patient to see clearly. Lens fitting in Keratoconus can be demanding & time consuming process. RGP lenses are not as comfortable as soft contact lenses.

Piggybacking Contact Lenses : a soft contact lens is first placed on cornea to give it a cushion like effect & RGP lens is fitted over it. Best features of both lenses are combined – makes the wearer comfortable & at the same time gives crisp & clear vision. The fitting should be perfect to ensure good oxygen permeability to the cornea as the patient will be wearing two lenses. However, with newer high oxygen permeable lenses this is not a problem.

Hybrid Contact lenses : uniquely designed wherein the central visual portion is made up of high oxygen permeable rigid material & peripheral anchoring portion is of soft hydrogel material. Maximizes the best features of both lenses & improves wearers comfort as well as visual performance in keratoconic eyes.

For the ask meme, pumpkin - what’s your favourite weather and why? peach - what’s your ideal aesthetic? cupcake - if you’re treating yourself, what do you do? ?

Pumpkin - overcast, warm (not humid), cool breeze, at twilight. I have photophobia (light sensitivity - ghe sun is my enemy), but I don't like to be cold :D. And bc of my cone and rod dystrophy, I can't see properly at nighttime either, so twilight is the best. Evening/dusk hours, before the sky goes black.

Cupcake - mint chock chip ice-cream with dark chocolate grated over it. Mhmmm yum. And I'll watch an old fav, like buffy or teen wolf or whatever.

Peach - this sort of needs demonstration, so here's my Pinterest. Some stuff on there counts, it’s usually labelled as being things I’d actually wear or own if i could. (Fashion and Furniture boards are the places for this.) In short, though - for building design, interior/exterior, some kind of weird hybrid love child between modern rgb neon gamer shit and. victorian/tudor styles. lol. Clothing... i just like. plaid. yeah. asdfklja;slg :D not good at describing this stuff, so, hence pinterest board. Um, i don’t really ascribe to the aesthetics i know the names of, so. I just. wear what I wear. yeah. :D haven’t paid real attention to fashion since 2007 watching Gok Wan on 4oD. lol. Wouldn’t think it, but i used to want to design clothes.... double lol. Terrible idea.
