Vascular abnormalities in patients with Stargardt disease assessed with optical coherence tomography angiography

Conclusions Vascular impairment in patients affected by STGD1 is concentrated in superficial and the deep retinal plexuses. Patients with atrophic changes have a greater reduction in CC density compared with controls (‘dark atrophy’). Morphological vascular evaluation may become an important step for predicting STGD1 treatment outcomes.
