Presentation
In SFD, immunolabeling of TIMP-3 also was present in the sub-RPE deposit and in the inner portion of the ciliary body deposit. TIMP-3 immunoreactivity was more extensive in the SFD eye. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Malnutrition
Night blindness may exist from birth, or be caused by injury or malnutrition (for example, vitamin A deficiency). It can be described as insufficient adaptation to darkness. [howlingpixel.com]

This suggests a critical role for the additional C-terminal free thiol group in SFD pathogenesis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Visual Hallucination
Visual hallucinations may also occur but these do not represent a mental illness.Macular degeneration typically occurs in older people. Genetic factors and smoking also play a role. It is due to damage to the macula of the retina. [howlingpixel.com]

Treatment
The average time until occurrence of angiographically documented CNV after initial treatment was 8.1 /- 8.9 weeks, but ranged from 2 weeks to 32 weeks. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis
Its functional prognosis is usually poor because of disciform macular scars and peripheral chorioretinal atrophies. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis - there is no progression. [patient.info]

STGD typically has an onset at 10 to 20 years of age, and its earliest symptoms are consistent with slowly progressive central vision loss. 17 Later ages of onset have been associated with a more favorable visual prognosis. 18,19 Cases of asymptomatic [retinatoday.com]
The introduction of anti-VEGF agents has greatly altered the prognosis for patients with CNV in AMD. [retinalphysician.com]
Etiology
While advances in understanding the etiology of Sorsby's fundus dystrophy have been made, the condition remains difficult to treat and the outcome is often devastating. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pathophysiology
Age-related macular degeneration is the leading cause of blindness in the Western world, and the pathophysiology of the condition is largely unknown. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
With this review we propose a hypothesis on the development of AMD based on our observations of the pathophysiology underlying SFD. [antibodyreport.com]
Almost all patients with SFD develop CNV and therefore it is a useful model to examine the pathophysiology of this phenotype. [grantome.com]
Prevention
CONCLUSIONS: Results of this study suggest that the risk of persistence or recurrence of CNV after laser photocoagulation for extrafoveal CNV is unusually high in patients with Sorsby's fundus dystrophy, and that this treatment is ineffective in preventing [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Antioxidant vitamins and minerals do not appear to be useful for prevention. There is no cure or treatment that returns vision already lost. [howlingpixel.com]

Prospects for Prevention and Treatment Progress is being rapidly made in understanding how specific mutations in specific genes cause the various forms of JMD. [eyesight.org]
“We have discovered that the drug has prevented loss of sight and improved vision in the younger patients suffering from SFD over a long period and this is an exciting new treatment for what is a rare condition affecting young people.” [uhs.nhs.uk]
