ForeseeHome™ Featured on Washington D.C. Health News
Chevy Chase, MD (August 22, 2011) – Local news station WUSA9 recently featured the ForeseeHome AMD Monitoring Program in a health news alert. Elizabeth Santee began using the ForeseeHome at the recommendation of her retina specialist, Dr. Richard Garfinkel at the Retina Group of Washington. After about a month of using the device, she and her doctor received an alert.
Dr. Garfinkel says, "It turns out she had a big problem, but it was too early for her to be able to detect it herself. The device detected it."
Elizabeth had three months of treatment and now doctors have her AMD under control.
"I am convinced that the early detection has saved my eye sight," Elizabeth tells us. |

About the ForeseeHome AMD Monitoring Program
The ForeseeHome AMD Monitor is a non-invasive, user friendly device designed specifically for use by patients with AMD. Patients use their personal monitor daily in the comfort of their home, and results are transmitted automatically to the Notal Vision Data Monitoring Center through the phone line. If a statistically significant change in vision is detected, Notal Vision will promptly alert the doctor and the patient so they can schedule a comprehensive eye exam. Additionally, the doctor can view the patient’s data at any time through a secure website.
