  • Loss of Peripheral Vision

    RP causes nightblindness and a loss of peripheral vision through the progressive degeneration of the retina. [sense.org.uk]

    RP causes night-blindness and a loss of peripheral vision (side vision) through the progressive degeneration of the retina. The retina is a light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye and is crucial for vision. [news-medical.net]

    Loss of vision [ 4 ] usually starts with night blindness and this is followed by loss of peripheral vision. Some degree of tunnel vision can continue until quite late. [patient.info]

    In adolescence, people with Usher syndrome type 1F develop retinitis pigmentosa, an eye disease which causes night blindness and a gradual loss of peripheral vision. Eventually only the central vision remains, creating “tunnel vision.” [jscreen.org]

    Retinitis pigmentosa causes night-blindness and a loss of peripheral vision (side vision) through the progressive degeneration of the retina. The retina is a light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye and is crucial for vision. [pvfla.org]

  • Areflexia

    Three clinical entities have been defined: type 1 (around 40% of cases), in which hearing loss is congenital, profound, nonprogressive, and typically associated with vestibular areflexia leading to delayed acquisitions (delayed head control and unassisted [orpha.net]

Treatment options Currently, there are only insufficient and experimental treatment options available for the degeneration of the retina. They all aim at delaying the complete destruction of the photoreceptors. [hear.com]

Prognosis The prognosis mainly depends on the progression of the visual loss: blindness occurs in almost all cases between 50 and 70 years of age. The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]

Life Expectancy Prognosis for patients with Usher Syndrome is good. The condition will eventually lead to deafness and blindness, in most cases, but early death is not predicted in severe, moderate or mild cases. [babymed.com]

What is the prognosis for a person with Usher Syndrome Type 1F? Usher syndrome type 1F causes severe hearing and vision impairment, however it does not affect one’s lifespan or intelligence. [jscreen.org]

Although N48K mutation testing will be an excellent diagnostic tool for USH3 in Ashkenazi Jews, it will be less useful for predicting clinical prognosis due to the highly variable expressivity that we observed. [jmg.bmj.com]

Epidemiology The incidence is about 1 in 25,000. About 3-6% of hearing impaired children have the condition. Types 1 and 2 are more common than type 3 and together account for 90-95% of Usher's syndrome and about 10% of all children born deaf. [patient.info]
