Due to the small number of individuals reported, the ocular phenotype is variable and likely incompletely described.  Optic atrophy and pigmentary retinopathy are the most consistent findings.  The most completely studied individual had evidence of slight bilateral optic nerve atrophy on cerebral MRI imaging as well.  There may be extensive RPE atrophy but the fundus pigmentation is usually described as resembling retinitis pigmentosa.  The ERG in several patients during the second decade of life already shows severe dysfunction of the photoreceptors, with cones the most severely impacted.  In spite of this Goldmann visual fields have been reported to be normal.  The macula and OCT have been reported as normal.  Telecanthus, nystagmus, hypertelorism, proptosis, and photophobia have been reported.  Early onset and progressive visual impairment are characteristic.
