Clinician Quiz: AAO Guidelines for Inherited Retinal Degenerations

The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) outlines recommendations for managing inherited retinal degenerations (IRDs), detailing testing procedures and timing for patients across four IRD classes. The guidelines emphasize the importance of adapted testing for pediatric cases, underscore the essential role of genetic testing and counseling on conforming diagnosis, and aim to optimize patient care with eligibility for clinical trials or gene therapies. This document is a comprehensive resource to guide the management of patients with IRDs and notes final treatment decisions are based on the needs of individual patients.
