Background

Congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) is a rare nonprogressive retinal disorder characterised by congenitally impaired night vision and subnormal visual acuity. Important associated clinical hallmarks in CSNB are myopic refractive error, astigmatism, strabismus, and paradoxical pupillary responses. In some cases, nystagmus may also be present [1], [2].
