What are Parson diseases of the eye?
Parson diseases of the eye are a group of rare conditions that affect the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. These diseases can cause a variety of symptoms, including vision loss, floaters, and flashes of light.
Parson diseases are named after Sir John Herbert Parson, a British ophthalmologist who first described these conditions in 1909. Parson diseases are also known as idiopathic central serous chorioretinopathy (ICSC) or central serous retinopathy (CSR).
What causes Parson diseases of the eye?
The exact cause of Parson diseases is unknown, but it is believed to be related to an imbalance of fluids in the eye.
Normally, the eye produces a clear fluid called vitreous humor that fills the back of the eye. This fluid provides nutrients to the retina and helps to maintain the eye's shape.
In people with Parson diseases, the vitreous humor may leak into the retina, causing a buildup of fluid beneath the retina. This fluid buildup can damage the retina and lead to vision loss.
What are the symptoms of Parson diseases of the eye?
The symptoms of Parson diseases can vary depending on the type of disease and the severity of the condition.
The most common symptoms of Parson diseases include:
- Vision loss
- Floaters
- Flashes of light
- Blurred vision
- Distorted vision
- Central scotoma (a blind spot in the center of the vision)
How are Parson diseases of the eye diagnosed?
Parson diseases are diagnosed through a comprehensive eye exam.
During an eye exam, your ophthalmologist will ask about your symptoms and medical history.
Your ophthalmologist will also use a variety of tests to examine your eyes, including:
- Visual acuity test
- Dilated eye exam
- Optical coherence tomography (OCT)
- Fluorescein angiography
How are Parson diseases of the eye treated?
The treatment for Parson diseases depends on the type of disease and the severity of the condition.
Treatment options may include:
- Observation
- Laser therapy
- Photodynamic therapy
- Surgery
Observation
In some cases, Parson diseases may resolve on their own without treatment.
Your ophthalmologist may recommend observation if your vision loss is mild and your symptoms are not severe.
Laser therapy
Laser therapy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a laser to seal the leaking blood vessels in the eye.
Laser therapy is often used to treat Parson diseases that are causing vision loss.
Photodynamic therapy
Photodynamic therapy is a type of laser therapy that uses a light-sensitive dye to target the leaking blood vessels in the eye.
Photodynamic therapy is often used to treat Parson diseases that are not responding to other treatments.
Surgery
Surgery is rarely necessary to treat Parson diseases.
Surgery may be necessary if the leaking blood vessels are causing severe vision loss or if other treatments have not been successful.
What is the prognosis for Parson diseases of the eye?
The prognosis for Parson diseases depends on the type of disease and the severity of the condition.
Most people with Parson diseases will experience some degree of vision loss.
However, the vision loss is often mild and does not significantly affect daily activities.
In some cases, Parson diseases can lead to more severe vision loss or even blindness.
How can I prevent Parson diseases of the eye?
There is no known way to prevent Parson diseases of the eye.
However, there are some things you can do to reduce your risk of developing these conditions, such as:
- Protecting your eyes from the sun
- Eating a healthy diet
- Getting regular exercise
- Avoiding smoking
