Your doctor or genetic counsellor will spend some time asking about other people in your family to try to work out the way in which your particular faulty gene has been passed down through the generations – this is referred to as the inheritance pattern.

A huge thank you to everyone who completed our 2025 sight loss survey. This year we received over 600 responses. It follows similar surveys in 2019 and 2022 which led directly to the introduction of our Unlock Genetics and Discover Wellbeing resources, as well as shaping our work with the professional community who support people with inherited sight loss.
