# Ophthalmology

More and more hereditary eye diseases are being discovered, which makes genetics a very useful tool in the diagnosis and treatment of these diseases.

At Nuuma, we have next-generation sequencing (NGS) panels that include the genes of interest for the main genetic ophthalmological diseases such as retinitis pigmentosa, glaucoma, and other types of corneal and retinal dystrophies.

The use of genetic testing allows us to offer patients benefits in terms of accurate diagnosis, prevention, and genetic counselling for the following diseases:

- Retinitis pigmentosa
- Hereditary congenital glaucoma
- Leber congenital amaurosis
- Bardet–Biedl syndrome
- Corneal dystrophies
