A rare, autosomal recessive, pigment dysfunction disease characterized by early formation of cataract, myopia, and progressive chorioretinal degeneration. It is caused by a deficiency in the ornithine aminotransferase (OAT) enzyme and can lead to nyctalopia, circular pigment patches in the mid-peripheral fundus, loss of tunnel vision, and loss of peripheral vision.
