Stargardt's disease is a genetic eye condition that typically manifests its symptoms during childhood or early adulthood. This condition results from mutations in the ABCA4 gene and leads to cellular damage due to the abnormal accumulation of waste products called lipofuscin in retinal cells. Key symptoms of the disease include central vision loss, impaired color perception, and in some cases, night blindness. The accumulation of this lipofuscin pigment in the macula progressively worsens vision.
