I am curious if anyone here has a family member with Stargardt's Macular Disease. The difference in Stargardt'd and Macular Degeneration is found in the cells of the macula.
In Stargardt's the cells of the macula have died. In Macular Degeneration, the veins in the eye have hardened and burst, causing blood to cloud the macula. For more information on Stargardt's, here is a link explaining
