			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recently we had a gentleman visit us who has the rare condition, Usher Syndrome.</p>
<p>You can read more about it <a href="http://www.nidcd.nih.gov/health/hearing/usher.asp">here</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usher_syndrome">here</a>, but it is a rare genetic condition that can cause deafness and blindness. He had been trying to get lenses that would aid his vision and was recommended to us by a colleague of his.</p>
<p>The use of an orange lens which had the ability to change from light to dark and back from <a href="http://www.bolle-europe.co.uk/">Bolle Optical</a> was just the answer. </p>
<p>He is delighted with these lenses, which filter out harmful light and reduce glare significantly.</p>
