Sickle cell anemia

Sickle cell anemias are chronic hemolytic diseases that may induce three types of acute accidents: severe anemia, severe bacterial infections, and ischemic vasoocclusive accidents (VOA) caused by sickle-shaped red blood cells obstructing small blood vessels and capillaries. Many diverse complications can occur.

Visual loss

Loss of visual acuity (implying that vision was better at a certain timepoint in life). Otherwise the term reduced visual acuity should be used (or a subclass of that).
