The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Management of achromatopsia. Prescribe or not: A case report Presented by K.M. Law, School of Optometry, The Hong Kong Polytechnic University, Hong Kong, China

Background Achromatopsia is a congenital, inherited visual disorder in which cone function is either absent or reduced.

Clinical characteristics of achromatopsia Reduce VA Photophobia Significant refractive error Reduce or complete loss of colour discrimination

Case history A 34-year-old accountant diagnosed of achromatopsia since childhood. Subjective refraction OD: -13.00 DS (VA: 10/100-) OS: -14.50 / -1.50 X 180 (VA: 10/100-) Abnormal colour vision Reduced contrast sensitivity Corning 527X filter was used to reduce light sensitivity currently

Discussions Photophobia is a common complain of people suffered from achromatopsia. Symptoms of photophobia in patients with achromatopsia may be relieved due to attenuate light reaching the retina with the use of tinted contact lens. Tinted contact lens may provide better visual comfort than tinted spectacle as it could limit periphery glare, eliminate back surface reflections and align visual axis better than spectacles.1

Conclusions Tinted contact lenses should be considered if patient found significant improvement in visual comfort even though the improvement of visual acuity was minimal clinically. Tinted zone of contact lenses should cover and well beyond the pupil margin under dim and bright conditions. Extra care should be needed to minimize contact lens complications.
