Achrmoatopsia
Achromatopsia Can you imagine being blinded by the sunlight every time you walk outside during the day without wearing shaded glasses? Or being 22 years old and not knowing what it is like to have a driver’s license. These are just a couple of things I have to live with being born with a very rare, non curable eye disorder called Achromatopsia. About one in every 33000 people in the U.S. has this eye disorder. That is roughly 8500 people. These numbers may vary in different parts of the world. If you know someone who is about to have a child do not be concerned. Just remember they have a better chance of winning the lottery than to have a child born with Achromatopsia. Through my Eye Doctors and through my own research growing up I have learned a lot about Achromatopsia. This eye disorder does not seem too complicated, but as of today there is still no cure.
