In time it causes blindness. I know someone tho that has it and they seem to be doing okay for the 13 years I have known them.

In addition to the other helpful information about how to slow the progression of macular degeration, wear sun glasses!
My son has Stargardts so I've read everything I can get my hands on about it. Just a point of interest (in case you or anyone else is) the Foundation Fighting Blindness is having a Vision Walk in several cities in the US to raise funds for research on all forms of MD. Contact them if you're interested.
