What is stargardts macular distrophy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inherited: This is a condition, in several forms, which starts in early teen years and mostly progresses to complete loss of central macular function. It is inherited and there is a strong family history. Fortunately it is quite rare. The peripheral vision is usually preserved so a seeing eye dog is rarely needed.
