Cone Dystrophy
Cone dystrophy is a general term used to describe a group of rare eye disorders that affect the cone cells of the retina. Cone dystrophy can variably cause a variety of symptoms including decreased visual clarity in central vision, a reduced ability to see colors and an increased sensitivity to light. In the progressive form of cone dystrophy, vision continues to deteriorate over time. In many cases vision may deteriorate so that a person is considered “legally” blind (i.e., vision that is 20/200 or worse). There is no cure for cone dystrophy. [from rarediseases.org]
