Abstract

Molecular biology has been integrated into ophthalmology remarkably well because it promotes an accurate diagnosis and the development of front-line treatments. In the past ten years, next generation sequencing, including variant technologies, has been developed and clinically adopted because of its cost-efficiency and high throughput. In this context, we mainly describe its properties, strengths and weaknesses, with an emphasis on and a perspective of its usefulness in inherited eye disorders. Key words: Molecular ophthalmology; Next generation sequencing; Genetic diagnosis
