Hereditary Optic Neuropathies: Differential Diagnosis, Genetic Insights, & Emerging Therapies

Hereditary optic neuropathies represent a complex group of disorders that can lead to progressive and often irreversible vision loss. Early recognition and appropriate referral for genetic evaluation are critical for diagnosis, counseling, and management. In this live webinar, three expert panelists will provide concise, focused presentations covering key aspects of hereditary optic neuropathies. Topics will include a practical approach to differential diagnosis and pre-genetic testing workup, an update on Leber Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON), including genetic mechanisms and evolving treatment strategies, and an overview of other hereditary optic neuropathies with insights into diagnosis, counseling, and emerging therapies. The session will conclude with an interactive, moderated Q&A discussion offering participants the opportunity to engage directly with the panel and explore real-world clinical challenges. This webinar is designed for eye health professionals seeking to strengthen their understanding of ocular genetics and improve patient care in hereditary optic nerve disorders.
