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.

After 5 years and 5 months of monitoring with the ForeseeHome AMD Monitoring Program, this patient experienced a timely detection of wet in the left eye—caught early at 20/30+1 vision - thanks to Dr. Francisco Folgar and the Carolina Eyecare Physicians team in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina.

Early detection makes the difference in AMD management!

At the 2025 American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting, Anat Loewenstein, MD, shared recent research findings and spoke about the use of remote monitoring in retinal pathologies, with an emphasis on at-home optical coherence tomography (OCT) and applications of artificial intelligence (AI).

"From all the studies that we have done regarding the home OCT, we found that it can really make a big, big change in the lives of our patients and in the outcome of treatment modalities..."

Anat Loewenstein, MD, shared recent research findings which indicate home monitoring is appropriate for atypical and complex pathologies

Early detection matters. 👁️

After 3 years and 9 months of consistent monitoring with ForeseeHome, a patient of Scott Philippe, OD at Piedmont EyeCare in Charlotte, NC experienced a timely detection of wet at 20/30 vision.

The patient had previously received a non-exudative alert in their left eye before a second alert confirmed the conversion. 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.

Optometrists play a vital role in the early detection and management of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) and staying current with the latest diagnostic technologies is essential. This article highlights how advanced diagnostic tools can improve AMD care—and shares patient-centered ways to explain these technologies so patients feel informed and empowered to take an active role in their eye health.

Optometrists must be aware of the applications of the latest age-related macular degeneration (AMD) diagnostics for 3 main reasons. What’s more, patients tend to be loyal to optometrists who provide the most up-to-date technology.
