How It Works

How It Works

Initial consultation icon

PRE-TEST CONSULTATION

Talk with an expert by phone for free before your test is ordered. We review your personal and family health history, answer any questions you may have, and confirm that you meet eligibility criteria for Behind the Blur: Early-Onset Bilateral Cataracts sponsored testing program.

Genetic testing icon

EASY ORDERING

If you meet the criteria for the program, then your sponsored Early Onset Bilateral Cataracts Sequencing Panel order will be placed by one of our physicians at no cost to you. We will also coordinate the convenient collection of a DNA sample — usually through a saliva kit that is sent directly to you.

TESTING AT HOME

After the saliva testing kit arrives, complete the test kit instructions and provide a saliva sample. Mail the test kit back in the pre-paid envelope. Detailed collection and shipping instructions are provided in your test kit or can be found at BehindTheBlur.com.
