Spectral-domain optical coherence tomography and fundus autofluorescence characteristics in patients with fundus albipunctatus and retinitis punctata albescens.

PURPOSE: Fundus albipunctatus is a form of congenital stationary night blindness characterized by an early onset and nonprogressive impairment of night vision and the presence of numerous dull-white punctate lesions scattered throughout the fundus, while retinitis punctata albescens patients often show similar fundus changes but manifest a severe and progressive hereditary retinal dystrophy.

CONCLUSIONS

In this study, we report the optical coherence tomography and fundus autofluorescence measurements in patients with these hereditary night blinding diseases.
