Lattice Dystrophy
Lattice Dystrophy is a genetic eye disorder that affects the cornea, the clear front part of the eye. It is characterized by the formation of lattice-like opacities in the cornea, which can lead to vision problems. This condition is often inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, meaning only one copy of the mutated gene from a parent can cause the disorder.
Symptoms of Lattice Dystrophy may include blurred vision, glare, and difficulty seeing at night. Treatment options vary and may include the use of glasses, contact lenses, or surgical procedures like corneal transplantation if vision is significantly impaired. Regular check-ups with an eye specialist are essential for managing the condition effectively.
