Wednesday, at the end of the Napoli-Torino match, during an interview with SkySportNapoli coach Gannaro Gattuso said he had an autoimmune disease, ocular myasthenia. In recent games Gattuso had gone to the bench with a patch over his right eye. He was diagnosed with ocular myasthenia in January 2012, while he was still in business as a footballer.
During the interview Gattuso said that he did not feel the same in the last ten days and made a call “to all those boys who do not look beautiful” telling them that “life is beautiful and you have to face it without fear, you don’t have to hide.”
Myasthenia is a disease that results from a malfunction of the immune system, which produces antibodies that interrupt communication between nerve cells and muscles, in the case of the eye, the eye muscles. The typical symptoms of ocular myasthenia are diplopia, that is, double vision and ptosis, that is, the “droopy eyelid.” Since it is an autoimmune disease, there is no definitive cure, but proper treatment can help reduce its symptoms.
