Définition CISMeF : Late-onset retinal degeneration is an inherited retinal dystrophy characterized by
delayed dark adaptation and nyctalopia and drusen deposits presenting in adulthood,
followed by cone and rod degeneration that presents in the sixth decade of life, which
leads to central vision loss. Anterior segment features such as peripupillary iris
transillumination defects and abnormally long anterior zonular insertions are also
observed. Choroidal neovascularization and glaucoma may occur in the late stages of
the disease.;
