Morphologic photoreceptor abnormality in occult macular dystrophy on spectral-domain optical coherence tomography.

abstract：Purpose:Asymmetry in disease progression between left and right eyes can occur in Stargardt disease (STGD1), and this needs to be considered in novel therapeutic trials with a fellow-eye paired controlled design. This study investigated the inter-eye discordance of best-corrected visual acuity (BCVA) and progression of...
