Achromatopsia: Long term visual performance and clinical characteristics
CONCLUSIONS: CNGA3 is the main gene associated with achromatopsia in our population (around ∼ 73%), which is in contrast to the distribution worldwide (∼ 25%). Most achromats suffer from photophobia and nystagmus, and the main refractive error is hypermetropia. Achromatopsia's natural course seems to be stationary, and there may even be a slight improvement in visual acuity with time.PMID:37920903 | DOI:10.1177/11206721231212768
