For Eye Care Professionals

A Practical Framework for Risk Stratification

Structured reporting designed to support counseling, follow-up schedule, and adherence. Built by clinicians, for clinicians.

Why Add Genetic Testing to Your AMD Workflow

Risk Stratification

Personalized risk stratification based on 14 genetic markers across 12 genes (including CFH, ARMS2, C3). Defined time windows for 2-, 5-, and 10-year progression.

Supplement Guidance

For approximately 15% of patients, certain genetic profiles indicate 3x risk from zinc-based AREDS supplements (≥25 mg/day). US Patent-protected discovery.

Monitoring Schedule

Risk-adjusted follow-up recommendations. Higher-risk patients get tighter monitoring intervals — improving early detection of conversion to wet AMD.

Patient Engagement

Plain-language patient reports increase understanding and compliance. Patients who understand their risk are more likely to adhere to follow-up schedules.

Clinician Report

What Your Report Includes

The clinician report is designed for rapid interpretation. Each section maps to a specific clinical decision point.

01

Genetic Risk Score

Composite score from 14 genetic markers across 12 genes (CFH, ARMS2, C3, and more) with population percentile comparison.

02

Risk Category

Personalized risk stratification with 2-, 5-, and 10-year progression estimates.

03

Supplement Recommendation

Zinc-containing vs zinc-free AREDS2 recommendation based on CFH genotype analysis.

04

Evidence Summary

Key citations supporting each recommendation, linked to peer-reviewed literature for full transparency.
