EyeGenetics

EyeGenetics refers to the study of genetics specifically related to eye conditions and traits. Researchers investigate how our genes influence eye development, vision defects, and inherited eye diseases. This field combines genetics, ophthalmology, and biotechnology to understand how mutations in specific genes can lead to various eye problems, such as glaucoma or retinitis pigmentosa. By identifying these genetic links, EyeGenetics aims to improve diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of eye-related disorders, ultimately enhancing eye health and preserving vision for individuals at risk of genetic eye diseases.
