Summary
This study looked at 44 people with a confirmed genetic diagnosis of Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON), a rare inherited eye disease that causes vision loss. Researchers reviewed medical records and asked participants about their vision, quality of life, and the financial costs of the disease. The goal was to better understand how LHON affects people over time, not to test a new treatment.
