Amaurosis

Amaurosis is a medical condition that results in partial or complete blindness. It is caused by an interruption in the optic nerve or the retina, which is responsible for sending visual information to the brain. Symptoms of amaurosis include reduced vision, difficulty seeing in dim light, and a complete loss of vision. In some cases, amaurosis can be caused by a genetic mutation, or it can be brought on by disease or injury. Treatment for amaurosis typically involves medications, surgery, or the use of corrective lenses. In some cases, treatments may not be able to restore full vision, but they can help to improve a patient’s visual acuity.
