I too have this disease. Since I was a kid I had night blindness. I lost central vision in my left eye since I found out at 15 years old. I still have peripheral vision though. I never noticed it until I went to the eye doctor. I have a big schisis cavity in the left eye. The other better eye takes over and you never notice. My right eye has been the same roughly since then. I see 20/25 because I have cataracts as well. I can't enjoy 3d stuff but I am just happy it has not gotten worse to the point I can't see at all. I pray for a cure every day so no one else has to endure this disease. I wish everyone the best of luck. I’m 22 years old and I was diagnosed at the age of 15. I too have this disease.

I had rapid vision loss, then I received two new lenses. Now I see very well. I still have the eye disease and can't drive but hey I can see. Upon my last visit my doc said my vision hasn't changed in a long time. It's hereditary. It's life. Some people get worst things, so look at what you have not what you could have. Just an opinion.

My condition has generally remained the same since birth, only really deteriating with age. The biggest impact it has on my life is not being able to drive but other than that I try to ensure it doesnt have a greater impact on my life :-) Hello, Although you posted this some time ago I thought id share, I’m 24 years old and also have Goldmann Farve Syndrome (as does my sister), it is indeed an inherited condition that i got from both my parents carrying the genetics for it.

For OKAPs I think macular is enough Pretty sure it is auto dom

Only macular dystrophy, type 3 lattice dystrophy, and one form of congenital hereditary endothelial dystrophy are recessive.
For OKAPs I think macular is enough

Anyway I thought I share this: I am 35yo and have been diagnosed with Goldman favre syndrome 8 years ago, since then I check my eyes every year and the doctor said that it doesn't change so now he told me to come every 2 years. They still don't know what cause it, just genetic thats what I know. So far there is no cure so I just keep praying that it doesn't get worse. Hope your nephew's eyes doesn't get worse either.

]]> Comment on What’s the difference between Jansen’s disease and Wagner’s disease? by Veronique Nas http://www.ophthodeck.com/cards/155#comment-47 Veronique Nas Fri, 15 May 2009 06:01:26 +0000 http://www.ophthodeck.com/?p=155#comment-47 There is no difference, apart from the nationality of the studied pedigrees: Wagner's being Swiss, Jansen being Dutch. Both pedigrees have the same gene defect (Versican) The Swiss pedigree was studied in 1938, Jansen's in 1962. When later on researchers studied the original pedigree again, they also found retinal detachments.
