Foresee PHP

Testing to Monitor Macular Degeneration (AMD)

In keeping up with the latest technological advances and in striving to deliver better patient care, we are 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" rnacular degeneration. The device is very helpful in assisting our optometrists 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 Reliance on older, outdated technologies often results in diagnosis that is too late - after the disease has been wet for enough time that retinal damage and vision loss have already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 to schedule a Doctor consultation in our Peoria office to determine if you are a candidate for testing with the Foresee PHP.
