OPHTARA ENG

French national reference center for rare eye diseases (OPHTARA)

The reference center for rare eye diseases (OPHTARA) was initially labeled in 2006 as part of the rare diseases plan 2006-2011.

The main missions of the center are to allow a precise diagnosis by the doctors who are experts in these pathologies, to define the methods of care for patients and their families, to develop research programs on diseases having an ocular repercussion, to inform the patients and families, to define and disseminate care protocols, in conjunction with the Haute Autorité de Santé (HAS) and the Union Nationale des Caisses d’Assurance Maladie (UNCAM); and be interlocutors for patient associations.

Logo SensgeneThis reference center is affiliated with the SENSGENE rare diseases healthcare network andLogo ERN Eye the EYE European reference network (ERN).

The OPHTARA reference center, winner of the SENSGENE 2021 call for projects, has just published an information guide on the low vision reeducation and rehabilitation for visually impaired people aged 0 to 25.

This guide provides all the essential information needed to obtain quality care for visually impaired people with low vision.
Its objective is to better inform and accompany family members and patients with visual impairment in their medical, paramedical and administrative procedures, to give them every opportunity to have a better life with their disability. These advices can be useful in the daily life of visually impaired people and help limit the aggravation of the disease.

This guide was produced with the participation of patient associations, including Géniris, Genespoir, Retina France and Inflam’œil.

Therapeutic patient education (TPE)

TPE aims to help patients acquire or maintain the skills they need to manage their lives with a chronic or rare disease.
TPE is intended for all people with a chronic or rare disease, regardless of age, as well as their family members and/or caregivers.
Access to TPE is free and can be requested at any time, as soon as the disease is announced.

OPHTARA

In 2019, as part of the new DGOS call for TPE projects, the OPHTARA reference center offered the very first TPE programs in ophthalmology :

1) A TPE program for patients with congenital aniridia

Led by Pr Dominique Bremond-Gignac, coordinator of the OPHTARA reference center, with the participation of Pr Matthieu Robert and Dr Alejandra Daruich-Matet, this programme was submitted to the ARS in the summer of 2021 and the first workshops started in January 2022.
The team is made up of ophthalmologists, paramedics, a psychologist, a social worker, patients and representatives of the Gêniris association.

Focus

ETP aniridie congénitale Ophtara 4The first therapeutic education session held on 22 January 2022 enabled patients and their families to learn more about this rare genetic disease and its daily management.
Using an educational easel prepared specifically for this topic, doctors from the OPHTARA centre exchanged throughout the morning with the participants and answered the many questions that this disease raises in their daily lives.
This workshop, rich in learning and advice, should enable these families and patients to acquire greater autonomy and to live better with their pathology.

2) A TPE program for patients with non-infectious autoimmune uveitis

Led and coordinated by Dr Christine Fardeau with the participation of Pr Bahram Bodaghi, at the Pitié-Salpêtrière hospital, this program proposed by the OPHTARA reference center was submitted to the ARS in the summer of 2021. The first workshops started at the end of 2021 in face-to-face and in distance learning with Zoom®.
The team brings together ophthalmologists, nurses, orthoptists, a dietician, a psychologist, patients and representatives of the Inflam’Oeil association.

3) A TPE program for patients with Wolfram syndrome

This new TPE program « Living with Wolfram and Wolfram-like syndrome » was proposed at the end of 2020 by OPHTARA as part of the new DGOS call for projects.
Led by Dr. Orssaud, ophthalmologist at the HEGP, this program was declared to the ARS IDF in October 2022, which gave its approval for its implementation as of November 2, 2022.
The first workshops will begin in early 2023 with the participation of a multidisciplinary team from the HEGP, composed of ophthalmologists, low vision opticians, orthoptists, audioprosthesists, nurses, and the Wolfram Syndrome patient association.
The group workshops will be offered in face-to-face and distance learning (e-TPE) with Zoom®.

OPHTARA and MAGEC

In 2018, the national reference center for rare eye diseases (OPHTARA) of the SENSGENE network, participated in the development of the very first TPE on a rare disease with ocular abnormalities: albinism.

1) A TPE program for patients with albinism

Photo ETP Ophtara albinismePr Dominique Bremond-Gignac and Pr Matthieu Robert from the OPHTARA reference center, have jointly built with the MAGEC reference center (rare diseases of the skin and mucous membranes of genetic origin in Bordeaux which is part of the FIMARAD network) and the Genespoir association, a therapeutic education program for patients with albinism.
The team is made up of ophthalmologists, dermatologists specialized in the care of patients with albinism, representatives of the Genespoir patient association and a socio-educational project manager.
This program, authorized in 2019 by the Île de France Regional Health Agency (ARS), is accessible to patients who request it.
