The authors report a case of late-onset Stargardt's disease in a 56-year-old patient diagnosed for the first time at Lubumbashi University Clinics after bilateral, symmetrical decrease in the visual acuity as well as the presence, on fundus, of flavimaculate spots at the posterior pole of both eyes. This observation draws attention to the existence of Stargardt's disease at a late stage.
