Findings will inform the need for policy action to mitigate the impact of IRDs.Methods: The costs of IRDs were estimated using a cost-of-illness methodology, based on the prevalence of IRDs in each country. Intangible costs of reduced wellbeing were also estimated using disability-adjusted life years which were then converted to monetary values using the value of a statistical life.Results: Using base prevalence rates, total costs attributable to IRDs in the US were estimated to range between US$13,414.0 and US$31,797.4 million in 2019, comprising both economic costs (between US$4,982 and US$11,753.9 million; 37% of total costs) and wellbeing costs (between US$8,431.7 and US$20,043.6 million; 63%). Total costs attributable to IRDs in Canada were estimated to range between CAN$1637.8 and CAN$6687.5 million in 2019, comprising both economic costs (between CAN$566.6 and CAN$2,305.7 million; 34%) and wellbeing costs (between CAN$1,071.4 and CAN$4,381.9 million; 66% of total costs).Conclusion: The impact of IRDs in the US and Canada is substantial when considering both economic costs and reduced wellbeing. The wellbeing costs due to IRDs in the US and Canada are considerable, accounting for over 60% of total costs. Vision loss from IRDs often manifests in childhood, meaning some people live with vision impairment and blindness for their whole lives. Further research into current and emerging cost-effective therapies and interventions is required given the substantial economic burden faced by those living with vision loss.Keywords: genetic diagnosis, inherited retinal disease, cost-of-illnessGong JCheung SFasso-Opie AGalvin OMoniz LSEarle DDurham TMenzo JLi NDuffy SDolgin JShearman MSFiorani CBanhazi JDaly ADove Medical Pressarticlegenetic diagnosisinherited retinal diseasecost-of-illnessOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 2855-2866 (2021)
