What is Eye Guard Genetics?
Eye Guard Genetics is a gene-level genetic test designed to assess the risk of hereditary eye diseases. Many of these diseases often show symptoms only at advanced stages. This test enables individuals to learn their risks early and plan preventive care in advance.
The test covers 6 major eye diseases:
Age-related Macular Degeneration
Glaucoma
Sjögren’s Syndrome (autoimmune disorder affecting tear glands)
Uveitis (inflammation of the uvea)
Corneal Dystrophy
Birdshot Chorioretinopathy
Benefits for individuals tested:
Identify risk of eye diseases at an early stage
Plan appropriate healthcare and lifestyle adjustments
Prevent complications and reduce the risk of future vision loss
Gain confidence in long-term health planning

The launch of Eye Guard Genetics marks a milestone in the collaboration between HPG Laboratory and Bangkok Eye Hospital, reflecting their shared commitment to advancing Thailand’s medical standards in both prevention and treatment. This initiative aligns with the future of healthcare through Precision Medicine.
