Books about Stargardt Disease.

A couple of books I’ve found with Stargardt disease as the story.

Seeing Light with Darkness

by Shane Crown

Synopsis

My life is filled with interesting stories from first grade all the way to present-day 2017—like how I lived with twenty-twenty vision until I was seventeen and that age I was diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration also known as Stargardt. I write about the person I was with vision, and I write stories about how I was after my visual disability.
