Clinical Practice, Challenges, and the Future of Ophthalmic Genetics in Saudi Arabia
This is the first study on ophthalmic genetics in Saudi Arabia, and its findings emphasize the need for policy reforms and targeted interventions. Proposed solutions include innovative financial models for genetic testing, expanded training programs for healthcare providers, and public awareness campaigns to improve access to genetic services. Addressing these challenges can enhance early diagnosis, treatment strategies, and patient outcomes in ophthalmic genetics.
