[Filtering lenses in retinopathy]

P Croughs

    Bulletin De La Societe Belge D'Ophtalmologie
    |January 1, 1997
    PubMed
    Summary

    Blue light filtering glasses may alleviate symptoms like photophobia and blurred vision in patients with retinopathies and hereditary retinal degenerations. However, these glasses do not appear to slow disease progression.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Optics
    • Retinal Diseases

    Context:

    • Retinopathies and tapetoretinal hereditary degenerations cause significant visual impairment.
    • Symptoms include photophobia, reduced contrast sensitivity, blurred vision, and decreased visual acuity.

    Purpose:

    • To evaluate the potential of blue light filtering optic filters in managing symptoms associated with retinal degenerative diseases.
    • To determine if optic filters can alter the disease's natural course.

    Summary:

    • Blue light filtering glasses may offer symptomatic relief for patients experiencing photophobia and vision disturbances.
    • Current evidence does not support the use of these filters to delay or halt the progression of retinopathies or hereditary retinal degenerations.

    Impact:

    • Provides insights into non-invasive symptomatic management for patients with retinal conditions.
    • Highlights the need for further research into disease-modifying therapies for hereditary retinal degenerations.
