Abstract

The authors report a case of visual field constriction with relatively preserved central visual acuity caused by early-onset retinal dystrophy in a 17-year-old girl. Although uncommon, such a phenomenon associated with Leber’s congenital amaurosis, retinitis pigmentosa, and related diseases should be considered in early-onset visual field constriction.
