Achromatopsia in dogs

Achromatopsia in dogs is a rare, congenital retinal disorder in which the cones in the retina do not function properly. These cones are essential for vision in daylight, for perceiving contrasts, and for the limited color vision that dogs are generally capable of. A dog with achromatopsia will have significantly impaired vision in bright light, often squint in sunlight, and appear uncertain outdoors, while moving with surprising confidence in twilight or darkness.
