Stargardt disease is the most common hereditary
macular degeneration in juveniles. It is characterized by
macular dystrophy associated with loss of central vision in the first or second decade of life, a "beaten-
metal" appearance in the fovea or parafoveal region, yellowish flecks around the macula or in posterior area of the retina, progressive
atrophy of the bilateral foveal retinal pigment epithelium, and the "dark choroid" sign on fundus
fluorescein angiography in most cases. We report a case of
Stargardt disease in a 26-year-old Caucasian female submitted to rehabilitative training with microperimetry MP-1 to find a new preferred
retinal locus (PRL) and to train her to better her quality of life. Best corrected visual acuity, mean
retinal sensitivity, fixation, bivariate contour ellipse area, and speed reading were evaluated before and after the training and results were discussed.
