Ophthalmology

Overview

Inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) vary widely, but most of them lead to progressive and/or profound visual symptoms. Timely diagnosis, counseling, and resource discussions are imperative to improve quality of life. Depending on the condition, treatment may be available, often through clinical trials, with the goal to slow the disease for vision preservation. Watch to learn about Mayo Clinic’s comprehensive, multidisciplinary approach to diagnosing and treating IRDs.
