Lennonpituus, also known as "Lennonitis" or "Lennon's Disease," is a rare, non-inflammatory condition characterized by the abnormal growth of the lens of the eye. This condition is named after John Lennon, the former Beatle, who was diagnosed with it in 1970. Lennonpituus is typically asymptomatic and is often discovered during a routine eye examination. The exact cause of the condition is unknown, but it is believed to be related to the aging process of the eye.

The primary symptom of Lennonpituus is a gradual loss of vision, which can progress to complete blindness. The condition is usually diagnosed through a comprehensive eye examination, which may include an ophthalmoscopy, a slit-lamp examination, and other diagnostic tests. Treatment options for Lennonpituus are limited and often involve managing symptoms and preventing further vision loss. In some cases, surgery may be recommended to remove the abnormal lens and replace it with an artificial one.

Lennonpituus is a rare condition, with an estimated prevalence of less than 1 in 100,000 people. It is more commonly diagnosed in older adults, with the average age of onset being around 60 years. The condition is not contagious and does not affect other parts of the body. While Lennonpituus can be a serious condition, early diagnosis and treatment can help to minimize the impact on vision and quality of life.
