Stargardt Disease
Keywords:
Low Vision, Stargardt DiseaseAbstract
Relevance: Stargardt disease is a retinal pathology that must be treated by the necessary professionals, and it is the duty of the optometrist to attempt to provide the patient with visual aids that can improve their quality of life and enable them to carry out daily activities with more precision.
Summary: Any optometrist is nowadays a highly useful tool in an increasingly computerized world. Conditions like Stargardt disease can be treated as a central vision problem, and closer to home, the well-known AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration) leaves more patients lost each day as they are deprived of central vision. Therefore, it is essential for optometrists to educate themselves and offer the best vision and quality of life to their patients. As the first line of visual care, optometrists have among their many roles the duty to understand the various eye conditions that can affect vision. One of the lesser-known visual pathologies is Stargardt disease (SD). SD is a condition that affects the central retina, causing central vision problems and reducing the patient's quality of life from the onset. Hence, the objective of this article is to conduct a literature review on the topic and contribute to the dissemination of knowledge about this disease.
