New lenses won’t clear up what Stargardt disease is obscuring

When vision loss remains unexplained, you deserve clear answers.

Blurry vision or dark spots could be early signs of Stargardt disease, an inherited condition that causes a gradual loss of central, detailed vision.

Stargardt disease often begins with a gradual, progressive worsening of sharp central vision, which can make it hard to read, recognize faces, or see in low light.

Stargardt disease is a genetic condition that affects function of the retina, the part of the eye that senses light.

If new glasses aren’t helping, don’t wait. Ask for a referral.

Trust your instincts and ask your eye doctor for a referral or for advanced retinal imaging and a genetic test to help confirm a diagnosis.

Getting a clear diagnosis is an important step to finding a supportive community and helpful tools and services.
