Materials and Methods: The visual acuity, fundus examination and fundus autofluorescence findings of patients were noted. Results: Patients with stage 1 showed increased autofluorescence with peripapillary sparing. At stage 2, there were flecks located in the extrafoveal region to the periphery. The active flecks were hyperautofluorescent, and the inactive flecks were hypoautofluorescent. At stage 3, the flecks were accompanied by macular atrophy. Atrophy progression was seen in 6 eyes. The number of flecks were increased in 8 eyes, and the hyperautofluorescent flecks became hypoautofluorescent in 6 eyes. There was no correlation between the stages of the disease and the visual acuity. Conclusions: The different phenotypic features determined by the FAF imaging in Stargardt-fundus flavimaculatus disease can give information about the progression and prognosis of the disease.
