- Ultra-widefield fundus photo of a 74 year old male presenting with severe vision loss beginning at age 55. Patient sought a second opinion with our office and was diagnosed with Choroideremia. Patient denies hearing loss, heart problems, balance issues, polydactyly, kidney problems, and dental problems. Patient reports that nobody in the family had blindness. Choroideremia is an X-linked chorioretinal dystrophy characterized by the diffuse, progressive degeneration of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), photoreceptors and choriocapillaris. It is caused by a mutation in the CHM gene.
