Ophthalmology and Optometry

Ophthalmogenetics

The complex process of developing the normal eye, which takes place in the first trimester of pregnancy, is regulated by a number of genes. A significant eye ailment can arise when these genes make errors (known as mutations). Ophthalmic genetics is a vital and quickly developing topic globally. Global genetic illnesses are on the rise as a result of ethnic diversity and high consanguinity rates. Blindness in persons in their working years is most frequently caused by inherited retinal disease (IRD). The introduction of next-generation sequencing methods and concentrated gene panel analysis, among other molecular genetic advancements, have sped up the process of molecular diagnosis. Likewise, advancements in ocular imaging and measures of visual function have improved our comprehension of natural history.

This is crucial for assessing the effectiveness of treatment in studies using possible IRD medications.
