Cone Dystrophy is a rare inherited retinal disorder that primarily affects the cone photoreceptor cells in the retina. These cells are responsible for central vision, color perception, and seeing fine details in bright light. When cone cells gradually deteriorate, individuals experience reduced visual sharpness, color...
Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a rare group of inherited retinal disorders that gradually damage the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of the eye. The condition primarily affects the photoreceptor cells known as rods and cones, which are responsible for vision in low light,...
Usher Syndrome is a rare inherited genetic disorder that affects both hearing and vision. It is the most common condition that causes combined deafness or hearing loss with progressive vision impairment due to Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP). In some individuals, Usher Syndrome also affects balance, making...
Leber Congenital Amaurosis (LCA) is a rare inherited retinal disorder that causes severe vision impairment or blindness from birth or during the first few months of life. It is one of the earliest forms of inherited retinal dystrophy and occurs due to genetic mutations that...
Choroideremia is a rare inherited retinal disorder that causes progressive vision loss due to the gradual degeneration of the retina, retinal pigment epithelium (RPE), and choroid—the vascular layer that supplies oxygen and nutrients to the retina. The condition primarily affects males because it is inherited...
