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]

CONCLUSIONS: A sparse array of cone photoreceptors with significantly reduced density of the macula is one of the morphologic features of OMD. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The cone and rod sensitivity profile showed that all patients had depressed cone sensitivity only in the macula, although many relatively young patients had normal rod sensitivity in the macula. [centrallakesclinic.biz]

Conclusions: Cone densities in the macula of the OMD patient were greatly decreased. AO images were found to be useful to evaluate morphologic changes in cone photoreceptors in patients with OMD. [dovepress.com]

Characteristic hypovoltaged responses from central macula in multifocal ERG (mfERG) confirmed the diagnosis of occult macular dystrophy (OMD) in both siblings. [ojoonline.org]

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]
