Can genetic testing predict myopia?

Genetic, or genomic testing, seems to be available for diagnosing
a wide range of health conditions, but what if we could use the
same method to predict myopia? Martin and Daniel introduce the
latest episode in which Martin talks to Director of Research at
Cardiff University, Professor Jeremy Guggenheim MCOptom who
discusses the impact of genetics on myopia.


Jeremy will be speaking at our annual conference, Optometry
Tomorrow (www.optometrytomorrow.org), taking place on 23-24
February 2020 at the Telford International Centre. 


Look out for our myopia patient leaflet, available for members to
order free of charge (www.college-optometrists.org/order).
