A description is given of a new family with X-linked cone dystrophy. A survey is also given of the findings in X-linked cone dystrophy. When an eye specialist sees a male patient with myopia and reduced visual acuity, the cause of which is not clear from the fundus picture, an X-linked cone dystrophy should be considered. Electrophysiological examination, combined with detailed testing of colour vision, can provide an explanation of the poor vision which satisfies both the patient and the ophthalmologist.
