Article Synopsis
- This project aimed to investigate the standards of genetic testing and counseling for patients with inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) in select European countries, focusing on expert opinions about current challenges and potential improvements in patient care.
- A survey was distributed to professionals across ten European nations, gathering data on the prevalence of genetic testing and counseling practices.
- Results showed that while genetic tests are common and largely funded by public health services, many IRD patients still lack adequate testing and counseling, highlighting the need for better education for healthcare providers, improved access to advanced testing, and more genetic counselors.
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to quantify perfusion in the area of choroidal neovascularization (CNV) using laser speckle flowgraphy (LSFG) before and after intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) injection.
Methods: Retrospective case series. Fifteen eyes of 15 patients with treatment-naïve CNV due to age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and with available LSFG images were included.
