Case Report: We present an interesting case of a 55-year-old male who presented to us with complaints of night blindness, increase in the number of minus glasses, senile cataract in both eyes, constriction of peripheral visual field and chorioretinal atrophic lesions in both eyes. Blood investigation revealed raised plasma ornithine levels at 690 micromole/L (normal range 30-90 micromole/L). There is progressive night blindness and visual field constriction due to progressive chorioretinal degeneration. It has now progressed to the diminution of central visual acuity due to progressive macular and glaucomatous changes and cataract formation. Conclusion: There is a history of blindness in two out of 6 more siblings which indicates a hereditary pattern.&#13;
