"A home device preferential hyperacuity perimeter has good sensitivity and specificity in discriminating between newly diagnosed CNV and intermediate AMD patients. Sensitivity is not dependent on lesion characteristics".
New test helps to detect AMD at home [319k]
Once AMD has been detected, a combination of in-office and home monitoring for chorodial neovascularization is extremely important in preserving patients' sight.The foreseeHome encouarage frequent age related macular degeneration monitoring at home and promotes early detection of CNV.Ocular Surgery News, March 2009
Home Device For Monitoring AMD Expected This Year [1423k]
The ForeseeHome ,dry AMD monitoring device for early detection of wet AMD ,at home, is expected to be available in late 2009. The ForeseeHome demonstrated 30% greater sensitivity than the Amsler Grid when used to test patients previously diagnosed with CNV.

When patients are found to be at the intermediate dry AMD stage, during which risk of vision loss increases significantly, it may be necessary to implement a more aggressive monitoring regimen. AREDS vitamins, which have been shown to reduce the risk of vision loss at this stage, paired with quarterly tests with Preferential Hyperacuity Perimetry (Foresee PHP, Sightpath Medical,US), complement a biannual dilated exam.
