Cone-rod dystrophy (CRD) is a group of inherited eye disorders that affect the light sensitive cells of the retina called the cones and rods. People with this condition experience vision loss over time as the cones and rods deteriorate.

What are Rods in eyes ?

Rods are a type of photoreceptor cell in the retina. They are sensitive to light levels and help give us good vision in low light.

  • They are concentrated in the outer areas of the retina and give us peripheral vision. Rods are 500 to 1,000 times more sensitive to light than cones.

  • Over time, affected individuals develop night blindness and a worsening of their peripheral vision, which can limit independent mobility.
