The parents of a 2-year-old girl report that she has had "bobbing eyes" and light sensitivity since
birth. In your office, the girl shows good visual attention but has bilateral pendular nystagmus

adapted scotopic ERG responses are normal, but light-adapted photopic signals are greatly
diminished. No relatives are similarly affected. What condition does this patient most likely
have?
a. Stargardt disease
b. congenital stationary night blindness
c. Leber congenital amaurosis
d. achromatopsia
