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.
Autoimmune retinopathy and associated retinal cell dysfunction
(Insert table 2 here - but change it up) (1)
- 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]
