Stargardt disease is a rare genetic eye illness in which fatty material accumulates on the macula, the small region of the retina responsible for clear, central vision.

Although vision loss normally begins in childhood, some patients with Stargardt illness don't lose sight until they are adults. Although there is no cure for Stargardt disease, individuals can benefit from vision rehabilitation to make the most of their remaining vision.

The most common sign of Stargardt sickness is a gradual loss of central vision in both eyes. Other symptoms include grey, dark, or hazy regions in the centre of your vision. The center vision of some persons diminishes faster than it does for others.
