Testimonials"The MacuScope™ uses flicker photometry, the only scientifically validated method of measuring macular protective pigment density. Up until now, early detection of low pigment density was not available to the general medical community. This device offers us the possibility to proactively detect the problem before the onset of the disease." Richard A. Bone (Professor) "The MacuScope™ is as important to AMD as GDX™ and HRT™ are to glaucoma. Early intervention and accurate monitoring will preserve vision. It is imperative that family members of patients at risk also get checked. The MacuScope™ can alleviate a patient's greatest fear, the fear of going blind." Dr. Lloyd Snider MacuScope™ is the only method of measuring macular protective pigment density that has been truly validated. It is the benchmark standard for comparison of other methods. A slightly modified version of our instrument has been used to measure the optical density of the macular protective pigment throughout the visible spectrum. The resulting absorbance spectrum is in virtually perfect agreement with expectations based on our knowledge of the composition of macular protective pigment. Richard A. Bone (Professor) John T. Landrum (Professor) "It's a great tool for identifying patients at risk for AMD. There is great relief on their faces when they get the results and find out they are not at risk. The thing patients fear most is going blind. For those who are at risk, they're thrilled that there is something that can be done about it through supplementation and re-testing six months later." "We are seen as the technological leader in the community because no one else has this. We're getting patients from across the state wanting to take the test." Elaine Happ OD, Monticello, MN "The MacuScope uses technology that needs to be available in every practice. It allows doctors to provide preventative eye care which may be vital to keeping quality vision for our patients. Our MacuScope raises the standard of care we provide and has been a welcome addition to our practice." Wes Kemp, O.D., Bolivar, MO "Trying to prevent blindness is a big part of what we do. You feel good about being an O.D. when a patient returns for their six month re-check, their macular protective pigment has increased, and you get a great big thank you! It's wonderful to give patients hope" Harriet Pelton, O.D., Bloomfield Twp, MI | ||
