Blindness going as far as blindness is a problem very strongly linked to age: the risk of blindness is ten times higher after 65 years and 20 times higher after 75 years than in younger people.
Our set of 7 simulation glasses simulates the following eye diseases:
This is explained by the existence of pathologies linked to the aging of the various structures of the eye: lens (cataract), retina (age-related macular degeneration), optic nerve (glaucoma). These pathologies affect the fraction of the population that will increase most rapidly in the years to come. We can therefore expect to see the need for eye care increase exponentially.
Eye diseases have a special place in all debilitating diseases.
Cataract
Partial or total clouding of the lens, progressive loss of vision, at first discomfort with light (photophobia).
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
Retinal disease caused by progressive degeneration of the macula appears from the age of 50, frequently from the age of 65.Significant impairment of vision.
Glaucoma
Degenerative optic nerve disease, pprogressive loss of vision from the periphery to the center.
The vision loss associated with glaucoma is permanent and irreversible.Without treatment, this disease can lead to blindness.
Retinitis pigmentosa
Genetic eye disease, pnight vision loss., rnarrowing of the visual field, ploss of central vision.
Unilateral retinal detachment
Separation of the retina from the outer membranes of the eyeball leads to blindness if left untreated quickly. This disease mainly affects people aged 45 to 60, myopic and diabetics.
Diabetic retinopathy
Retinal damage occurring in the context of diabetes.
The people concerned by this pathology can be between the ages of 20 and 65, leading to blindness if left untreated.
Homonymous lateral hemianopsia
Homonymous lateral hemianopsia (HLH) is a hemianopsia in which the loss of visual field is on the side opposite the lesion that caused it. A lesion on the right therefore leads to HLH on the left. It is said to be homonymous because the lost visual field is, with respect to the patient, on the same side for both eyes.
