A 47-year-old female housewife visited the hospital with a chief complaint of chronic, mildly diminished vision. She had previously been diagnosed with cone dystrophy. Her vision had never been correctable to 20/20 and her best vision was 20/30 in her left eye. She had a history of amblyopia in her right eye as a child. On examination, her visual acuity was 20/70 in the right eye and 20/40 in the left eye. Her family history was significant for several relatives also having mildly reduced vision between 20/30 and 20/50. Fundus examination revealed optic disc pallor in both eyes.
