Limited Access to Genetic Testing
- Current healthcare policies do not mandate genetic screening for high-risk individuals.
- Genetic testing is often not covered by insurance, making it inaccessible for many.
- A lack of standardized guidelines for integrating genetic data into clinical practice.
Lack of Genetic Counselling Support
- Patients and families need education on genetic risks and available treatment options.
- There is an urgent need to include genetic counselling in glaucoma management policies.
- Support networks for affected families remain insufficient.
The Need for Research Funding & Infrastructure
- Increased funding is required to expand genomic research in glaucoma.
- Public health policies must support widespread implementation of precision medicine.
- Investment in training healthcare professionals in genetics is crucial.
