Abstract

The article discusses clinical information on the diagnosis and treatment options for Stargardt Disease. Topics explored include the genetic mutations which tend to contribute to the development of the macular dystrophy condition, the detection of the disease through retinal pigment epithelial changes, and the therapeutic interventions such as gene therapy, stem cell therapy, and the administration of an altered form of vitamin A.
