To investigate psychophysical thresholds in Stargardt disease with the full-field stimulus test (FST). Visual acuity (VA), spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT), full-field electroretinogram (ERG), and FST measurements were made in one eye of 24 patients with Stargardt disease. Dark-adapted rod FST thresholds were measured with short-wavelength stimuli, and cone FST thresholds were obtained from the cone plateau phase of dark adaptation using long-wavelength stimuli. Correlation coefficients were calculated for FST thresholds versus macular thickness, VA and ERG amplitudes. Stargardt patient FST cone thresholds correlated significantly with VA, macular thickness, and ERG cone-response amplitudes (all P<0.01). The patients’ FST rod thresholds correlated with ERG rod-response amplitudes (P<0.01), but not macular thickness (P=0.05). All Stargardt disease patients with flecks confined to the macula and most of the patients with flecks extending outside of the macula had normal FST thresholds. All patients with extramacular atrophic changes had elevated FST cone thresholds and most had elevated FST rod thresholds. FST rod and cone threshold elevation in Stargardt disease patients correlated well with measures of structure and function, as well as ophthalmoscopic retinal appearance. FST appears to be a useful tool for assessing rod and cone function in Stargardt disease.
