Summary
Central areolar choroidal dystrophy (CACD) is a rare genetic eye condition. These cases suggest CACD may also be linked to progressive sensorineural hearing loss, requiring hearing aids later in life.
Area of Science:
- Ophthalmology
- Genetics
- Audiology
Background:
- Central areolar choroidal dystrophy (CACD) is a rare hereditary eye disorder.
- CACD typically causes central vision loss (scotoma) in middle-aged individuals.
