Vision Month - A Joint Campaign Organized by iBioScience and Ganglion Medical Center
As part of the collaboration between iBioScience and Ganglion Medical Center, this campaign, launched in celebration of Vision Month, aims to raise awareness about eye health and the importance of genetic testing for eye conditions. The goal of the campaign is to educate the broader public on innovative methods that can help detect and treat hereditary eye diseases that may lead to vision loss at an early stage.
The Importance of Ophthalmic Genetic Testing
The rapid development of genetic research and diagnostic methods allows us to gain a more accurate understanding of the underlying causes of vision problems. Genetic tests for eye conditions can identify genetic mutations that contribute to various visual impairments, enabling early diagnosis and timely treatment.
Discovering hereditary factors plays a crucial role not only in early detection but also in creating personalized treatment plans. These tests help patients to prepare for potential risks and reduce the chances of vision loss through lifestyle changes and early intervention.
Raising Awareness
One of the main goals of the campaign is to increase awareness of the benefits of genetic testing. Many people are still unaware that such tests exist, which provide opportunities for early diagnosis and preventive interventions.
Vision Month highlights the importance of regular eye check-ups. iBioScience and Ganglion Medical Center encourage the public to pay special attention to their vision during this period and participate in ophthalmic screenings, especially those with a family history of vision problems or hereditary eye diseases.
As part of the campaign, specialists and genetic experts from both institutions will be available to answer questions, offer advice, and, if necessary, help select appropriate diagnostic procedures.
