Vitamin A in Stargardt disease-an evidence-based update.

CONCLUSIONS: There are few studies on the effect of vitamin A in STGD1. The scarcity and inconclusiveness of evidence available impel further research efforts to reach a more confident conclusion. Currently, recommendations to avoid vitamin A dietary supplementation rely mainly on a theoretical background. Animal studies on vitamin A substitute as a possible therapeutic approach in preventing or slowing vision loss in STGD1 seems promising but further clinical trials are needed to verify the results.
