Genetic eye diseases represent an unmet societal need due to several factors, lack of physicians trained in genetics, advances in retinal imaging, increase use of genetic testing, and the development of new treatments for genetic disease. Our practice differs from others on several fronts as we have expertise in genetic retinal illnesses with experience in emergent therapies as well as culture competence with our local community.
