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) Department of Physics Florida International University "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 Optometric Director MacuChek™ 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.
