Testing to Monitor Macular Degeneration
In keeping up with the latest technological advances and in striving to deliver better patient care, St. Anthony eye Care is very excited to offer AMD monitoring with the “Foresee PHP™” device. The Foresee PHP offers a quick, painless test and provides information that is used to monitor patients with “dry” macular degeneration. The device is very helpful in assisting Dr. Hanson with catching this disease right upon conversion to the rapidly-progressing, vision-threatening “wet” form of the disease, before irreversible vision loss occurs.

A major reason for the devastating effects of macular degeneration has been a lack of effective monitoring tools to detect the conversion from dry to wet macular degeneration. Reliance on older, outdated techniques often results in diagnosis that is too late - after the disease has been wet for enough time that retinal damage and vision loss have already occurred.

Treatment for wet macular degeneration works best early on, right when the disease converts to its wet form. If you have been diagnosed with macular degeneration, call Dr. Hanson to determine if you are a candidate for testing with the Foresee PHP.
