ConclusionThis was the first nationwide survey of macular dystrophy in Japan and provided an approximate number of affected patients. The diagnosis of macular dystrophy is primarily carried out at facilities with affiliated specialists, such as university hospitals. By examining the incidence of multiple diseases simultaneously, we were able to compare the incidence of each type of macular dystrophy.
