Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) vary widely, but most of them lead to progressive and/or profound visual symptoms. Timely diagnosis, counseling, and resource discussions are imperative to improve quality of life. Depending on the condition, treatment may be available, often through clinical trials, with the goal to slow the disease for vision preservation. Join this webinar to learn about Mayo Clinic’s comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing and treating IRDs.

Learning Objectives:

Review the most important medical history for patients with suspected IRD.
Highlight genetic testing options and counseling pearls for patients with a presumed IRD.
Summarize the current clinical trials for IRDs in the United States in 2023.
Discuss some of the barriers to clinical use for regenerative medicine in ophthalmology.
