Photo by Dr. Ngo Chek Tung
This 16 year-old school
boy complains of poor vision in both eyes for the past few years. The visual
acuity measured 6/24 in each eye. The vision is worst at night and he is
unable to walk in dim light. Fundal examination shows bilateral subretinal
whitish lesions. Stargardt's disease is a strong possiblity.
