Stargardt Disease

 


The condition was first described in 1909 by the German ophthalmologist Karl Stargardt.

  • He reported juvenile macular degeneration in several patients from the same family.  
  • Stargardt noted:
    • Progressive central vision loss
    • Atrophic changes in the macula
    • Early onset (childhood/adolescence)
