| Abstract (English): | Oliver Sacks (1933-2015) has been one for the most prominent authors in scientific popularizing of neurology. His works stimulated the interest of public in this field, but Sacks's contribution in the relationship between neurology and ophthalmology is not so well known. In this paper, we analyze his works regarding achromatopsia, a disorder of retinal cones that produces a black and white vision. Sacks analyzed several types, as transient achromatopsia, which appears in migraine aura, but the most interesting were those linked to congenital and acquired achromatopsia. The first was studied in the population of Pingelap, an island in Micronesia, and explained in The island of the colorblind (1996), whereas the second was reported in The case of colorblind painter (1995). In both works, Sacks described not only the pure medical aspects of the disorder, but considered in full its psychological and anthropological consequences. Reading these tales allows us to understand how chromatically limited vision affected, or not, their personal and social life. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
| Abstract (Spanish): | Oliver Sacks (1933-2015) ha sido una de las figuras más importantes en la divulgación científica de la neurología. Sus obras han tenido amplia repercusión en este ámbito, pero su contribución a la relación de ésta con la oftalmología es menos conocida. En el presente artículo analizamos sus textos referidos a la acromatopsia, una afectación de los conos retinianos que produce la llamada visión en blanco y negro. Sacks analizó situaciones de acromatopsia transitoria asociadas a auras visuales, pero las más interesantes fueron las vinculadas a la acromatopsia congénita en la población de Pingelap, en Micronesia, tratada en The island of the colorblind (1996), y la adquirida por un pintor en The case of colorblind painter (1995). En ambas, Sacks no se limitó a un análisis puramente médico, sino que en la mayor parte de los relatos se dedicó a un análisis psicológico y antropológico de los afectados por el trastorno. Su lectura permite comprender cómo la visión limitada cromáticamente repercute, o no, en su vida personal y social. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
