Stargardt Disease

Written by Accessibility.com Team | Aug 9, 2021

According to the National Eye Institute: 

Stargardt disease is an inherited disorder of the retina — the tissue at the back of the eye that senses light. The disease typically causes vision loss during childhood or adolescence, although in some forms, vision loss may not be noticed until later in adulthood. It is rare for people with the disease to become completely blind. For most people, vision loss progresses slowly over time to 20/200 or worse.
