Progressive form is progressive loss of the visual field, deterioration of central vision, anomalies of color vision, night blindness, some optic atrophy and occasionally appearance of pigmentary changes. Stationary form is benign evolution, little or no constriction of the visual field, good visual acuity and the presence of white dots in the fundus without pigmentary changes. Recently, the authors have been experienced Retinitis Punctata Albescens in 50-year-old male whose complaint was night blindness and slight impairment of visual acuity. Clinical, ophthalmoscopic examination, visual field test, color vision test, fluorescein angiography and electroretinography were performed in patient.
