• Collapse

  Over time, the foveal potential space on spectral domain optical coherence tomography collapsed, and three patients developed RPE atrophy and visible lipofuscin flecks. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

• Visual Impairment

  The degree of photoreceptor alterations was correlated with the severity of visual impairment. Clinical and tomographic results in the three asymptomatic relatives were normal. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  The degree of visual impairment is quite variable, with acuities ranging from 20/20 to 20/400. [healio.com]

  Most importantly, early-stage OMD, with no visual impairment exhibits phenotypic overlap with numerous retinal diseases, such as cone-rod dystrophy, early changes in age-related macular degeneration and Stargardt’s disease (SD) ( Pang and Lam, 2002 ), [journal.frontiersin.org]

  Many patients with IRDs present as sporadic cases without definitive family history of visual impairment, precluding the assessment of mode of inheritance. [molvis.org]
