Annular macular dystrophy.

Of 21 individuals from three generations of a single family with annular macular dystrophy, six showed only dyschromatopsia, one had dyschromatopsia and foveal hyperpigmentation, and four individuals had dyschromatopsia, foveal hyperpigmentation, and perifoveal circular pigment epithelial atrophy. Normal findings obtained on electrophysiologic testing suggest that this is a focal (macular) disorder rather than a generalized fundus disorder.
