Imagine a world without sight

Now imagine it without sound too.

This is the reality facing children, young people and adults with Norrie Disease.

You can help the NDF fund research that could completely change the lives of those living with the condition, and stop our blind community going deaf.

Research into Norrie Disease is severely underfunded.

The limited research into Norrie Disease hearing loss has already made a difference but more research is urgently needed.

Our aim is to develop clinical trials of therapies to prevent hearing loss happening, or to slow down, or stop, the progression.

This will change the future for our blind community who have already lost one sense.
