Abstract :
We present a 29-year-old woman complaining of low visual acuity since childhood being deteriorated in the past six months.
Ophthalmic examination revealed lowamplitude, jerky horizontal nystagmus in both
eyes that worsened in end-gaze. The manifest
refraction was –3.00 –9.5 × 20° and –2.5 –9.00
× 150° in her right and left eyes, respectively. The
best spectacle-corrected visual acuity (BSCVA)
was 20/70 in both eyes. In both eyes, BCVA
with rigid gas permeable lenses was 20/50.
Direct and consensual pupillary light reflexes
were within normal limits and no relative afferent
pupillary defect was detected. Color vision tested
by Ishihara’s color plates revealed no deficits.
Slit lamp examination showed mild paracentral
corneal thinning and bulging, Fleischer’s ring, and
Vogt’s striae in both eyes. Iris examination revealed
no sign of transillumination. Intraocular pressure
measured by Goldmann applanation tonometry
was 15 mmHg in both eyes. Dilated fundus examination revealed generalized chorioretinal
atrophy and no foveal reflex and no macular yellow
hue. Retinal capillaries at the macular area showed mild irregularity. Both optic discs were pink and had sharp margins.
