Conditions or keywords:

Description: A 45-year-old man with late-onset Stargardt's disease. His visual acuity was 0.6 on the right and 0.5 on the left. Color photos, fundus autofluorescence and OCT in both eyes show pisiform yellow-white flecks which are the accumulation of lipofuscin in the retinal pigmented epithelium, photoreceptor layer disorganization with IS-OS junction loss and small atrophic lesions with foveolar sparing. Genetic research in progress. Stargardt disease is an inherited single-gene eye disease that causes vision loss in children and young adults. Patients complain of bilateral central visual loss, photophobia, color vision abnormalities, central scotomas and slow dark adaptation.
