A blood test that may improve treatment for children born with congenital cataracts has been developed by researchers in Manchester.
It analyses every known mutation in the DNA which can cause the condition.
The team, which is presenting the test at the British Society for Genetic Medicine, hope it will spread up diagnosis and help decide the best treatment.
The charity RNIB described the test as a "welcome step forward".
