Fundus flavimaculatus.

Refractive errors in patients with fundus flavimaculatus.

A total of 59 patients (118 eyes) with fundus flavimaculatus who had atrophic macular lesions were examined for refractive error. Myopic refractions of greater than -0.1 dioptre were seen in 12% of a normal population and in 76% of our patient population. The spherical equivalent refractive errors described a single-peaked skewed distribution with a mean of -1.12 dioptres, which is 2.12 dioptre...

Macular electroretinogram in Stargardt's disease/fundus flavimaculatus.

Dear Editor We appreciate the comments by Gundogan et al. [1] on our paper entitled ‘Multifocal electroretinograms in Stargardt’s disease/fundus flavimaculatus’, published in Ophthalmologica [2] . They asked us to present more details on the full-field electroretinograms (ERGs) and also to calculate the correlation between the visual amplitudes of the multifocal ERGs’ central response, the visu...

Rod-cone interaction in patients with fundus flavimaculatus.

Dark adaptation and the rise of cone flicker threshold (25 Hz) during dark adaptation were measured psychophysically in three patients with fundus flavimaculatus. The dark adaptation curve showed a delayed rod-cone break but a normal final rod threshold in all these patients. However, the rise of cone flicker threshold during dark adaptation was not delayed and also reached a normal final value...

Photodynamic therapy for choroidal neovascularization in fundus flavimaculatus.

Intrafamilial variation of phenotype in Stargardt macular dystrophy-Fundus flavimaculatus.

PURPOSE To evaluate the intrafamilial phenotypic variation in Stargardt macular dystrophy-Fundus flavimaculatus (SMD-FFM). METHODS Thirty-one siblings from 15 families with SMD-FFM were examined. Age of onset, visual acuity, and clinical features on fundus examination and fundus autofluorescence images, including presence or absence of central and peripheral atrophy and distribution of flecks...
