    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Medical Genetics

    Background:

    • Pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE) is a rare genetic disorder affecting connective tissue, characterized by calcification and fragmentation of elastic fibers.
    • Angioid streaks are irregular, radial breaks in Bruch's membrane, often associated with systemic conditions like PXE.

    Observation:

    • A case presentation of a patient experiencing vision loss due to angioid streaks in the context of pseudoxanthoma elasticum.

    Findings:

    • The discussion covers the typical progression and visual presentation of PXE-associated angioid streaks.
    • The potential influence of trauma on the development or exacerbation of angioid streaks in PXE patients is examined.

    Implications:

    • Understanding the natural history of PXE and angioid streaks is crucial for early diagnosis and intervention.
  • This case highlights the importance of comprehensive optometric management for patients with PXE to preserve vision.
