Stargart’s


I have Stargardt’s Disease. (By “I,” I’m referring to Jim, aka Dad) Stargardt’s is the common name for Retinitis Pigmentosa, which is a genetic condition affecting vision by eroding the macular, the high-vision center of the eye.

It has no cure, no treatment, and ends in blindness for those affected.

My eyes in 2012… relatively early in the process. The arrows point to areas where my retina had died, leaving behind the telltale whiteness of the eye wall.

This section is intended to provide a place for me to relay information, thoughts, tips, and observations that I discovered or found as I live with Stargardt’s Disease. My thought is that if I write it down, I might not forget it, and I can look back from time to time to remember where I’ve been, and where I’m heading.
