The patients are in the age from 7-15 years. Out of this number of patients, 11 have Degeneratio tapetoretinalis and 19 have Degeneratio ML juvenilis. The diagnosis is based on this investigations: visual activity, opthalmoscopy, FFA, perimetry and electrophysiological investigation. Discussion: Because of the early lost of visual function in the childhood, the frequency of the registered patients with macular degenerations is bigger than the patients with tapetoretinal degenerations. Conclusion: The number of patients with heredodegenerative disturbances is bigger after 15 years of age, then in the group up to 15 years of age.
