Brief Answer:
vision loss eminent....

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

Stargardt's disease inherited condition affecting retina causing degeneration. Degenerative changes of the retina and macular are not reversible. So vision loss is eminent and vision loss is generally 100% especially if the condition develops in a young age.

However the degenerative changes are generally limited to retina and other organs / parts are not affected. So this condition doesn't affect other aspects of life and the affected individual can lead life just as any other individual minus vision.

Hope I am clear. Do you have questions.

Regards
