Syndrome Grönblad-Strandberg is a rare hereditary disease it is a genetic disorder of connective tissue characterized by fragmentation of elastic fibers and subsequent calcification affecting the dermis, blood vessels and Bruch's membrane of retina. The inheritance pattern is highly variable, making it possible that this disease may be underdiagnosed. The low incidence of this condition justifies the presentation of a case who suffered decreased vision in both eyes by macular atrophy and causes of low vision.
