Choroidal Dystrophies treatment in Mexicali

Choroidal dystrophies are a group of hereditary diseases of the retina and the choroid, the layer rich in blood vessels that nourishes the back of the eye, and that cause a progressive decline in vision.

Frequent symptoms:

• difficulty seeing in low light
• gradual reduction of the visual field
• slow loss of visual acuity

Common causes: they are due to genetic abnormalities that affect the functioning of the cells of the retina and the choroid, so they usually appear in several members of the same family.

Which specialist treats it? The ophthalmologist is the professional who studies the back of the eye and follows up on choroidal dystrophies. If you notice persistent changes in your vision, the recommended course is to request an ophthalmologic evaluation.
