Reports included in this DNA test:

01

Age-related macular degeneration
AMD is the top cause of vision loss in people aged over 50 – and yet it’s highly preventable if you take the right lifestyle measures. Under this widely-accepted, research-backed test, we look for particular variations in the CFH and ARMS2 genes that are the hallmark of AMD – up to 70 per cent of AMD sufferers share these polymorphisms. AMD happens when the yellow spot at the back of the eye degenerates, usually due to sun damage. The macula is rich in brightly coloured carotenoids that filter out blue and UV light in order to protect the retina. If you have light coloured eyes or high blood pressure, we doubly advise you to take this test and follow our advice diligently. If you’re high risk for AMD, consider getting close family members tested too.

- Tested polymorphisms: 43
02

Glaucoma
When pressure builds up in your eyeballs until it damages the optical nerve, you get glaucoma. It’s the world’s leading cause of irreversible blindness. Find out if you are genetically prone to having high eye pressure, and what lifestyle measures you can take to prevent glaucoma developing.
- Tested genes: 27
- Tested polymorphisms: 33
03

Diabetic retinopathy
About one in three people with diabetes, get deteriorations in their eyes, mostly due to uncontrolled blood glucose damaging their retinas. Find out if your eyes are genetically vulnerable to this complication of diabetes. Even if you’re revealed as high risk, you can protect your vision for decades to come by cleaning up your lifestyle, and beefing up your intake of the key nutrients we recommend.

- Tested polymorphisms: 40
04

Myopia - Nearsightedness
Short-sightedness is about 67% inherited. By identifying your genetic risk early, you can protect the quality of your vision in years to come by taking extra care, for example to avoid eye strain.
- Tested genes: 36
- Tested polymorphisms: 39
05

Astigmatism
Having an irregularly shaped cornea tends to run in families. Astigmatism – where the eye is shaped like a rugby ball instead of a football – may just result in blurry, distorted, or fuzzy vision. But having an irregular cornea can also affect your night vision, cause eye strain or irritation or even a squint and headaches. Astigmatism may be brought on by an eye inflammation or injury. And rates rise with age – the over-65s are about four times more likely to have astigmatism compared with under-16s. Take our DNA test to discover your risks of developing this eye issue, or passing it on to your children.

Your privacy is untouchable

We guarantee your privacy and data protection in full compliance with GDPR.

We are transparent about the data we collect, store, and use.

To ensure unbreakable anonymity, all personal data is stored separately from your genetic profile.

As a result, no team member can connect you to your DNA sample during the analysis process.

Top level data protection

We use the latest technologies to prevent and report on data breaches and network attacks.

With real-time data scanning, our system evaluates risks and notifies network administrators about potential issues.

That is why we can guarantee the highest level of privacy, reliability, integrity and data availability for our clients.

Always available

Our applications are configured across many geographically distributed data centres.

This reduces the risk of both data breaches and technical issues, from uncomfortable slowdowns to momentary unavailability.

Ensuring that your data is always secure and available is our top priority.
