Clustered regularly interspersed short palindromic repeats/Cas system is a powerful genome-editing tool for efficient and precise genome engineering both in vitro and in vivo, with the advantages of easy, convenient and low cost. This technology makes it possible to simultaneously mutate multiple genes in a single fertilized egg, thus to study the gene expression, genetic interaction and gene function. Even though this method is still in its immature stage and its stability is inconclusive, making precision models of ocular diseases through genome editing may provide a positive effect to explore gene targeted therapy in genetic eye disease.
