Inherited Retinal Diseases (IRDs) 101 with Dr. Cynthia Qian

There are over 20 inherited retinal dystrophies including, retinitis pigmentosa, Stargardt disease, Usher syndrome, and Leber congenital amaurosis to name a few. Being diagnosed with one of these conditions can be overwhelming and you may have many questions about what can be done now and what treatments are being researched. Joining us from the University of Montreal, Dr. Cynthia Qian provided an overview of IRDs and answered audience questions.
