Find Clarity in Your Vision Health Journey
Living with unexplained vision challenges can be overwhelming, especially when colour perception and light sensitivity affect your daily life. If you or your loved ones struggle with extreme light sensitivity, poor daylight vision, or complete colour blindness, our CNGA3 Gene Achromatopsia Type 2 NGS Genetic DNA Test offers the answers you’ve been searching for. At just ZAR 6,700, this comprehensive genetic analysis provides the certainty needed to understand your vision health and plan for the future.
Understanding Your CNGA3 Achromatopsia Test
This specialised genetic test examines the CNGA3 gene using Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology, the most advanced method available for genetic analysis. Achromatopsia type 2 is a rare inherited condition that affects the retina’s cone cells, leading to complete colour blindness, extreme light sensitivity, and reduced visual acuity. By identifying specific mutations in the CNGA3 gene, our test provides definitive answers about your genetic predisposition to this condition, helping you and your ophthalmologist develop the most effective management strategy.
Who Should Consider This Genetic Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Complete colour blindness or severely impaired colour vision
- Extreme sensitivity to bright light (photophobia)
- Poor vision in normal daylight conditions
- Nystagmus (involuntary eye movements)
- Family history of similar vision problems
- Unexplained vision challenges since childhood
If these symptoms sound familiar, genetic testing can provide the clarity needed for proper diagnosis and management.
Why Early Detection Matters for Your Vision Health
Understanding your genetic profile offers significant benefits for managing achromatopsia:
- Accurate Diagnosis: Move beyond symptom management to definitive genetic confirmation
- Family Planning Guidance: Understand inheritance patterns for future generations
- Personalised Management: Work with your ophthalmologist to develop targeted vision care strategies
- Peace of Mind: Eliminate uncertainty about your vision condition
- Early Intervention: Implement appropriate visual aids and lifestyle adjustments sooner
