  • Understanding these genetic underpinnings is crucial for diagnosis and management.
  • Genetic factors play a role in both inherited and complex visual impairments.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the current understanding of the genetics of common eye disorders.
  • To discuss both clinical and molecular genetic aspects of these conditions.
  • To emphasize challenges in genetic counseling for visually handicapped patients.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of clinical and molecular genetic studies.
  • Analysis of genetic factors in common ophthalmic diseases.
