Abstract
Cone dystrophy is a rare genetic retinal disorder characterized by primary cone degeneration and secondary rod involvement, with a variable fundus appearance. The loss of cones leads to predominant symptoms such as decreased visual acuity, color vision defects and day blindness. Cone dystrophies are genetically heterogeneous and can be inherited by autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant or X-linked recessive patterns.
