Achromatopsia

 

Achromatopsia is a genetic disorder in which a child is born with nonfunctioning cones, the photoreceptor cells in the retina that perceive color. This rare condition is characterized by a partial or total lack of color vision; those afflicted with the complete variant only see white, black and different shades of gray, while those with the incomplete variant can see a limited number of colors. Achromats are extremely light sensitive and may experience blurred vision and other visual symptoms. Achromatopsia cannot be cured, but low vision filters can help reduce light sensitivity and enhance visual functioning.

 

NoIR filters offer 100% UV protection and are formulated to absorb specific wavelengths of visible and in some cases infrared light to help provide relief from visual symptoms associated with Achromatopsia.
