Previous published studies with Indocyanine Green Angiography hypothesize the lack of choriocapillaries as a differences between macular atrophy secondary to age-related macular degeneration and Stargardt's disease (Giani A. et al. Invest Ophthalmol Vis Sci. 2012 Jun 26;53(7):3999-4004). These is confirmed by the analysis of macular atrophy by OCTA. In STGD patients OCTA revealed an extensive loss of choriocapillaris in the central area with persisting tissue at the margin of RPE atrophy; In GA population the central part of atrophy of the RPE is characterized by persistency of Sattler layer and rarefied choriocapillary
