The DNA Eye & Vision Health Test is a comprehensive genetic screening panel designed to help you understand your inherited risk for a wide range of common and progressive eye conditions. By analyzing key genetic markers linked to 13 ophthalmic traits, this test provides valuable insight into how your genes may influence your visual health — both now and in the future.

This test screens for genetic susceptibility to:

• Refractive errors such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), and astigmatism

• Progressive disorders like keratoconus and glaucoma

• Degenerative diseases such as age-related macular degeneration (ARMD) and Stargardt disease

• Inflammatory and autoimmune-related eye conditions, including uveitis and Graves’ ophthalmopathy

• Structural or vascular disorders like central serous chorioretinopathy and polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy

• Corneal characteristics, including corneal power, which affect vision correction and surgery planning

• Cataracts, a common age-related clouding of the lens

By analyzing over 250 genetic markers across dozens of genes, the test determines your polygenic risk score (PRS) for each condition and classifies your result as low, moderate, or high risk. For example, your risk of myopia or glaucoma might be higher due to specific genetic variants that influence the shape of your eye, fluid pressure, or retinal nerve sensitivity.

This test is ideal for individuals with:

• A family history of eye disorders

• Early signs of vision changes

• Interest in refractive surgery

• Lifestyle exposure to high screen time or sunlight

• Desire for personalized eye care and early detection strategies

With your results, you can work with an eye care professional to build a personalized vision care plan. This might include more frequent eye exams, UV protection, nutritional support, or early interventions to prevent vision loss.

Early detection and awareness are key to protecting long-term vision. Many conditions like glaucoma or macular degeneration are silent until damage is advanced. This test gives you the genetic insight needed to stay ahead of these risks.

Whether you’re managing an existing condition or want to protect your eyesight for the future, the DNA Eye & Vision Health Test provides an in-depth understanding of how your genes shape your visual potential — empowering you to take proactive steps for lifelong eye health.
