Autoimmune Retinopathy

Autoimmune retinopathy is a condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the retina, a light-sensitive part of the eye essential for vision. This can happen in some autoimmune diseases or can occur without a known cause. Symptoms may include blurred vision, difficulty seeing colors, or night vision problems. The inflammation can damage retinal cells, leading to vision loss if not treated. Treatment often involves addressing the underlying autoimmune issue and may include medications to reduce inflammation. Early diagnosis and management are important to preserve vision and maintain quality of life.
