Overview
History
Symptoms
The symptoms of Autoimmune retinopathy (AIR), is associated with the type of retinal cells that are affected. Cellular dysfunction of rods and cones vary in the symptoms that they produce.
| Retinal cell dysfunction | Associated symptoms |
|---|---|
| Cones | Diminished vision acuity, diminished central vision, loss of colour vision, photopsia, photosensitivity, hemeralopia |
| Rods | Prolonged dark adaptation, peripheral vision field loss, photopsia, nyctalopia |
Autoimmune retinopathy and associated retinal cell dysfunction
| Type of Autoimmune Retinopathy | Cellular dysfunction |
|---|---|
| Non-paraneoplastic | Cones or rods or both |
| Paraneoplastic | Cones or rods or both |
| Cancer associated retinopathy | Cones and rods |
| Melanoma associated retinopathy | Rods, antibodies against bipolar cells |
- Cones dysfunction results in, photosensitivity, hemeralopia (inability to see as clearly in bright light), colour vision deficit, decreased visual acuity and central vision loss.
- Rods dysfunction results in, nyctalopia (night blindness), prolonged dark adaptation, and loss of peripheral vision.
- Photopsia is associated with dysfunction of both Rods and cones.[1]
