Congratulations to Dr. Paul Velting and the Vintage Optical Shop team on catching a patient’s wet AMD conversion with ForeseeHome.

The patient was referred in January 2025 with 20/25-2 vision. Following a ForeseeHome alert in November 2025, the patient was seen just days later with conversion diagnosed in the right eye at 20/30-2.

Catching conversion while vision is still good can make a meaningful difference for patients. The Notal Vision Monitoring Center is proud to partner with Vintage Optical to help bring patients back at the right time, before changes go unnoticed.

Real-world adoption of new technology rarely hinges on the technology alone.

In Retinal Physician, Kapil Kapoor, MD shares early insights from using SCANLY Home OCT in everyday practice, and what resonated most with patients and their caregivers: ease of use and peace of mind between visits.

Dr. Kapoor highlights two critical factors for practices: having a designated practice champion and partnering with a monitoring center that helps manage onboarding, education, and ongoing support.

A thoughtful reminder that technology may enable care, but people, processes, and patient confidence ultimately determine its impact.

In Episode 3 of New Retina Radio’s mini-series on Retinal Fluid Fluctuation’s Impact on Long-Term Visual Acuity, Christina Weng, MD responds to a key point raised by host Jay Sridhar, MD: physicians have had limited visibility into what’s happening between wet AMD injections because patients are only imaged when they come into clinic.

Starting around minute 7:30, Dr. Weng shares that emerging research using home OCT is beginning to reveal meaningful variability between treatments—insight that’s largely invisible with in-office imaging alone.

“The variability between patients and what happens in between those injections has really been eye-opening… a dimension that we just haven’t been able to fully appreciate.”

Congratulations to Dr. Jay Haynie, Jesse Stillwaugh, and the Sound Retina team for catching a patient’s wet AMD conversion with ForeseeHome!

Referred in September 2025 at 20/40+2, this patient tested almost daily. A ForeseeHome alert in November brought them back many months sooner than their next routine visit—likely preventing unnoticed, irreversible vision loss. The conversion was confirmed at 20/50+2.

The Notal Vision Monitoring Center is proud to partner with Sound Retina to help patients catch wet AMD early enough to maintain functional vision.

Last weekend at FLORetina 2025, Prof. Anat Loewenstein delivered several insightful presentations, including a standout talk on home-based OCT monitoring for patients with neovascular age-related macular degeneration (nAMD). Her talk explored how remote OCT combined with AI-driven analysis can enable earlier detection of retinal changes and support more responsive, patient-centered care — potentially reducing the burden on patients and caregivers while preserving visual outcomes.

Congratulations to Dr. Frederick Weidman and the Horizon Eye Care team for catching a patient’s wet conversion with ForeseeHome!

Referred in January 2023 at 20/20-2, this patient became a consistent tester and that adherence paid off. ForeseeHome alerted the practice of a significant change in November 2025, and they brought the patient in just 5 days later, confirming conversion at 20/25-2.

Nearly three years of regular testing + rapid alert-to-exam action = preserved functional vision with treatment.

The Notal Vision Monitoring Center is proud to partner with Eye Care to help catch wet AMD early so patients can maintain the vision that matters most.

After more than 3 years of consistent monitoring with ForeseeHome, a patient of Kishan Govind at Piedmont Retina Specialists in Greensboro, NC was diagnosed with wet at 20/40-2 vision.

The patient had previously received a non-exudative alert in their left eye before a second alert confirmed the conversion just 6 months later. These types of early alerts are clinically significant—sub-analysis of the ALOFT study shows they can predict increased risk of wet AMD conversion, underscoring the importance of close monitoring.

Eye care is entering a new era. Forbes recently explored how artificial intelligence is transforming the eye exam, making it more precise, personalized, and accessible.

In retina care, AI now supports technologies like home OCT, where patients can capture images between appointments. The data, analyzed through AI, helps specialists better understand disease activity over time.

It’s a powerful example of how innovation can strengthen the connection between patients and their care teams, bringing advanced insights home while preserving the critical role of the physician.

After 3 years and 8 months of monitoring their fellow eye with the ForeseeHome AMD Monitoring Program, this patient experienced a timely detection of wet , maintaining critical vision of 20/60.

Thanks to a referral from Nasrollah Samiy, MD at the Retina Institute of the Carolinas in Matthews, North Carolina, and the ongoing protection ForeseeHome provides between visits, the patient received prompt care and preserved functional vision.

ForeseeHome continues to serve as a vital safety net for fellow eyes, helping detect changes early—even years after initial enrollment.
