cone dystrophy

Cone dystrophy is a genetic eye disorder that affects the cone cells in the retina, which are responsible for color vision and sharp visual detail. Individuals with cone dystrophy may experience problems with seeing colors, reduced visual clarity, and difficulties in bright light. Symptoms can develop gradually and may lead to central vision loss over time. This condition can impact daily activities and quality of life but varies in severity among individuals. There is no cure, but some supportive treatments may help manage symptoms and enhance visual function. Regular check-ups with an eye care professional are important for monitoring.
