Electroretinograghy (ERG) recordings and psychophysical tests typically show a complete absence of cone function. In this study we described two cases, a 32-years-old woman and her seven-years-old daughter, who presented with visual impairment and photophobia. Early diagnosis of diseases that have characteristic clinical findings like Achromatopsia is important for genetic counselling. Keywords : Achromatopsia, reduced visual acuity, photophobia
