The aim of these pages is to increase the level of awareness and understanding of genetic testing and genetic counselling among people living with inherited retinal dystrophies, empowering them to make fully informed decisions about their lives, healthcare and family planning.

Eye structure

The eye is a very complex organ. It has a lens at the front which focuses light on to a light sensitive tissue that lines the inside of the back of the eye – this tissue is called the retina.

About inherited sight loss

Many inherited sight loss conditions occur when cells in the retina, which is the light-sensitive region at the back of the eye, deteriorate in an unpredictable way. These conditions are often referred to as inherited retinal dystrophies.
