Achromatopsia
Achromatopsia is a very rare eye disease. The image information of the cones on the retina is not transmitted to the brain. Therefore, no colors can be recognized. Vision is severely impaired.
CNGA3 gene therapy study
Research into gene therapy for achromatopsia is being carried out at the Department of Ophthalmology at the University Hospital in Tübingen. After safety and efficacy were proven in phase 1, children are now being included for the first time in phase 2.
colorADD
colorADD® helps color-blind people to find their way in a color-coded world. The symbols can be used to mark everyday objects so that colorblind people can recognize or name the colors.
Symptoms and disability
In addition to complete color blindness, extreme sensitivity to light and visual impairment (visual acuity <= 0.1) are the handicaps of people with achromatopsia. Because of the strong sensitivity to glare, this congenital visual disorder is also called day blindness.
Our movie
The film “ACHROMATOPSIE – LIFE WITHOUT COLORS” informs about the very rare visual impairment. Affected people report on problems and possibilities in everyday life. A doctor talks about diagnosis and support.
