Paul’s Story – Written by his Mum, Sue – Received February 24, 2009

We have just been informed that my son has Stargardt’s 3Feb09. We are very worried about how fast his vision will deteriorate. Would the progression become stable at some point? His correct vision is 20/140 now. We are very concerned about how this is going to affect him later in life. He is only 14 years old. Is there a special diet that can help slow down the progression? Should he avoid Vitamin A rich food?
