Monitoring critical to preserve visual acuity in patients before and after CNV detection

Wider use of a home monitoring system for detecting wet age-related macular degeneration in patients at high risk for developing the disease may have a positive effect on public health in the U.S., according to an expert.At the American Society of Retina Specialists meeting in Vienna, OSN Retina/Vitreous Board Member Carl D. Regillo, MD, discussed the potential public health impact of the ForeseeHome AMD monitoring program (Notal Vision), which uses preferential hyperacuity perimetry (PHP) to help detect choroidal neovascularization in its earliest stages in patients with AMD.
