Testing to Monitor Macular Degeneration

In keeping up with the latest technological advances and in striving to deliver better patient care, we are very excited to offer a quick, painless test called the "Foresee PHPTM" to monitor patients with "dry" macular degeneration.  The device is very helpful in assisting our ophthalmologists with catching this rapidly-progressing disease right upon conversion to the vision-threatening "wet" form, before irreversible vision loss occurs.

Macular Degeneration treatment is ineffective for dry macular degeneration and is administered to patients with wet macular degeneration.  A major reason for the devastating effects of the macular degeneration has been lack of effective monitoring tools to detect the conversion from the dry to the wet form of the disease.  With previous techniques such as the Amsler grid, diagnosis often happens too late - after the disease has been "wet" for enough time that retinal damage and vision loss have already occurred.

Treatment works best early on, right when the disease converts to the "wet" form of the disease.  If you have been diagnosed with macular degeneration, call to schedule a Doctor consultation to determine if you are a candidate for PHP testing.
