Preferred Retinal Locus in Juvenile Macular Dystrophy

In JMD patients, PRLs are predominantly located superiorly or nasally. In younger patients, PRLs are typically located nasally and farther from the fovea, with poorer visual acuity compared to older patients. Cortical adaptation mechanisms may play a role in changing PRL location with age. Understanding PRL characteristics in JMD is crucial for developing effective low-vision rehabilitation strategies.
