There is no blood test and the genetic data is obtained from a simple cheek swab. With the power of this new kind of information, we can individualize and optimize monitoring and treatment programs that are tailored to the individual patient. We are pleased to be able to offer this state of the art technology previously only available at academic centers of medicine right here in the Wyoming Valley at Eyecare Specialists."
