Clinical Advisory
Pre-test and post-test genetic counselling is strongly recommended to fully understand the implications of your results and to discuss potential management options. This ensures that findings are contextualised within your personal and family medical history.
Exclusion Criteria & Emergency Red Flags
- Not for: Acute eye trauma, refractive error screening, or occupational vision testing.
- Immediate medical attention if: Sudden vision loss, severe eye pain, flashing lights, or curtain-like shadow over vision.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What conditions does this genetic eye panel detect?
This NGS panel detects pathogenic variants in over 300 genes linked to inherited retinal diseases, optic atrophy, and congenital eye malformations. It provides a definitive diagnosis for many hereditary vision disorders.
2. How is the sample collected and what is the turnaround time?
A simple blood draw is collected via VIP home phlebotomy, and results are delivered within 3–4 weeks. The specimen is transported under temperature-controlled conditions to our accredited laboratory.
3. Will my insurance cover the 3,000 AED cost?
Direct billing verification is available via WhatsApp. Many UAE insurers cover medically indicated genetic testing when pre-authorised is obtained. Contact our team to check your coverage.
