This observational study aims to better understand inherited eye diseases by identifying the genes responsible for them. Researchers will study families with various inherited eye conditions, including cataracts, corneal diseases, and retinal degenerations. There are no interventions or medications being tested in this study. The main goal is to document the clinical features and genetic makeup of these eye disorders. You may be eligible if you are at least 4 years old and have an inherited eye disease, or if a family member does. The study plans to enroll up to 5000 participants.

Study design

This is an observational study designed to gather information from up to 5000 individuals and families with inherited eye diseases.

What's involved

You would have one visit lasting 3-4 hours, which includes a medical and family history, an eye exam with dilated pupils, and an electroretinography (an eye test). A blood sample will also be collected.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

The primary goal is to document clinical and genetic features over the study's duration, but specific follow-up after the initial visit is not detailed.
