Among many eye diseases, acanthamoebic keratitis is not particularly prevalent, although it does not have a particular sexual or age selectivity. This serious disease affecting the functionality of the cornea is primarily experienced by people with visual impairment using contact lenses.
Among the existing pathologies of vision, ophthalmologists noted anisometropia. What it is? This is a refractive imbalance - when a person's right and left eyes have unequal refractive power, and this difference can be several diopters.
The medical definition of a dense white spot on the anterior transparent part of the eye is corneal leucoma. What does leikoma mean? In Greek, leukos is “white,” and cornea is the Latin name for the cornea.
In most cases, different pigmentation of the iris is a genetic disorder that passes from generation to generation. According to medical statistics, it occurs in 10 out of 1000 people.
With this anomaly, either the absence of the OPN1SW type S-flasks in the retina, or their genetically determined dystrophy, or a pathological change in the structure of the photopigment of iodopsin sensitive to the blue light spectrum is noted.
The eyes are not accidentally called the mirror of the soul, because they are a reflection of how we perceive the world. And we perceive it with the help of the senses, among which the paired organ of vision occupies one of the leading places.

To see the world in colors allows our visual system's ability to perceive waves of light radiation of various lengths, corresponding to colors and shades, and transform them into a holistic sense of a color picture of the surrounding reality.
Inflammatory processes affecting the organs of vision are considered one of the most serious problems in clinical ophthalmology, because the inflammatory reaction can cause dangerous and often irreversible disturbances in the eye tissues.
