About Usher Syndrome Type I, II and III
Usher syndrome is a rare genetic disease, affecting both hearing and vision. There are three types: I, II, and III, with different severity and the age when symptoms appear. It is an inborn disease associated with at least 9 genes, but the diagnosis is usually done later in life. The treatment lies in helping people to manage their vision, hearing, and balance problems.
