Perfect, or near-perfect, ocular health is imperative to survival for most free living avian species. While perfect vision is less vital for the captive companion parrot, it is nevertheless important to recognize and tr...

Ophthalmology has been an early adopter of personalized medicine. Drawing on genomic advances to improve molecular diagnosis, such as next-generation sequencing, and basic and translational research to develop novel therapies, application of genetic technologies in ophthalmology now heralds development of gene replacement therapies for some inherited monogenic eye diseases. It also promises to ...
