Usher Syndrome

Usher Syndrome is a genetic disorder that affects both hearing and vision. People with this condition usually have hearing loss from birth and experience progressive vision loss due to a retinal condition called retinitis pigmentosa. This means that over time, they may have difficulty seeing in low light or may lose peripheral vision. Usher Syndrome is categorized into different types, based on the severity and onset of symptoms. Currently, there is no cure, but early diagnosis and support can help individuals manage challenges related to communication and vision impairment.
