title: Differential diagnosis of hereditary pigmentary maculopathies.
abstract: The hereditary pigmentary macular dystrophies rank among the most challenging diagnostic entities in optometric practice. Patients with these disorders can present with clinical characteristics along a broad spectrum, ranging from normal fundus findings to profound macular changes, with or without reduction in visual function. This paper reviews the key differentiating aspects of this group of disorders, including clinical testing and management strategies.
