Notal Vision

Our team is taking a well-deserved break beginning December 23 through December 27. While the Notal Vision Monitoring Center will be closed, we will continue to monitor patients’ vision and communicate with offices as needed. We wish you a very happy and healthy holiday season and look forward to continuing to help protect patients from AMD vision loss between office visits with home monitoring in the new year!

Congratulations to Jonathan Brugger, MD and the Carolina Eyecare Physicians team in Nexton, South Carolina for catching a patient’s wet #AMD conversion with ForeseeHome!   The patient was referred with 20/40 vision and the conversion was caught at 20/25-1. This patient was monitoring compliantly (6.1 times per week on average) for just 1 month and 5 days when an alert in the right eye ended in a wet AMD conversion. The Notal Vision Monitoring Center is proud to partner with Dr. Brugger and his team to catch their patients’ wet AMD early enough to help maintain functional vision. #remotemonitoring #digitalhealth #maculardegeneration #retina

We were excited to see great updates on the role of #optometry in helping patients with retinal diseases at the OPTOMETRIC RETINA SOCIETY meeting. Congratulations to the co-chairs Mohammad Rafieetary , OD, FAAO, FORS, Dipl ABO, ABCMO and Steve Ferrucci, OD!   Mary Beth Yackey, OD presented an excellent update on the growing role of artificial intelligence in the management of retinal disease. She emphasized the importance of ForeseeHome based monitoring for patients with intermediate #AMD. Mark Dunbar, OD presented interesting updates on nutritional supplements, and Salar Rafieetary, OD gave an update on the latest treatments for management of wet and dry AMD. #eyesoninnovation #remotemonitoring #digitalhealth

Congratulations to Aleksandra Rachitskaya, MD, FASRS, from Cleveland Clinic on her presentation “Impact of home OCT on Management of nAMD Patients” at the FLORetina ICOOR 2024 Meeting during the Wet AMD Imaging Session 2, chaired by Anat Loewenstein and Nicole Eter. Dr. Rachitskaya shared results of a study that looked at changes in physician decision making with the presence of home OCT data. The results showed that home OCT data can have a significant impact on physicians’ treatment decisions. Physicians decided not to treat patients in over 42% of cases, while for patients they did treat, they decided to treat at least a week earlier in 2 out of 3 cases, when they had access to home OCT data. The results point to potential impact of home OCT in management of neovascular #AMD. #FLORetina2024 #FLORetina #FLORetinaICOOR2024 #retina #Ophthalmology #innovation

Congratulations to Brittni Scruggs, MD, PhD, and the Mayo Clinic team in Rochester, Minnesota for catching a patient’s wet #AMD conversion with ForeseeHome! The patient was referred with 20/20-3 vision and the conversion was caught at 20/40+2 after testing with ForeseeHome for 10 months. The Notal Vision Monitoring Center is proud to partner with Dr. Scruggs and her team to catch their patients’ wet AMD early enough to help maintain functional vision. #remotemonitoring #digitalhealth #maculardegeneration

Eric Schneider, MD, of Tennessee Retina joins Eyetube's New Retina Radio podcast to discuss the findings of a pivotal study assessing home OCT. Is home OCT equivalent to in-office OCT when it comes to visualization? And do expert graders agree with an AI algorithm’s assessments of patient’s pathology? #AAO2024 #eyesoninnovation #remotemonitoring #digitalhealth

#AI in #eyecare is transforming diagnosis, treatment, patient education, and engagement, positioning patients at the center of their care journey..... https://lnkd.in/e6_2P9WM #optometry #optometrist #optometricphysician #ophthalmologist #ophthalmology #artificialintelligence #aiinhealthcare #optician #COA #COMT #optometryprofessor #ophthalmologyprofessor #optometrystudent #optometryintern #ophthalmologystudent #ophthalmologyintern Samantha Armstrong Notal Vision Richard Edlow Verily Barti Sarah Lee Colton Calandrella Scott Allison Scott Sedlacek John R.

We’re excited to be exhibiting at this weekend’s Retina Update 2024 presented by the OPTOMETRIC RETINA SOCIETY and Review Education Group. Our VP of Product, Nishant Mohan, will be sharing the latest and greatest on our ForeseeHome AMD Monitoring Program, which is proven to help doctors detect wet #AMD earlier for better long-term outcomes. The agenda is filled with excellent retina-related topics pertinent to today’s medically minded optometrists. We look forward to presentations from Steven Ferrucci, OD, Mohammad Rafieetary , OD, FAAO, FORS, Dipl ABO, ABCMO, Mark Dunbar, OD, Jay Haynie, OD, Salar Rafieetary, MD, and Mary Beth Yackey, OD. #eyesoninnovation #remotemonitoring #digitalhealth #optometry

Congratulations to Jonathan Till, MD and the Southwest Virginia Eye Center team in Roanoke, Virginia for catching a patient’s wet #AMD conversion with ForeseeHome!   The conversion was caught at 20/40 after testing 6.5 times per week on average for over eight years with ForeseeHome. This patient had five prior non-exudative alerts in their left eye, before the sixth alert resulted in a wet AMD conversion. A sub-analysis of the ALOFT study showed that these types of non-exudative alerts predict an increased risk of wet AMD conversion, highlighting the need for more attentive management. Read the analysis here: https://lnkd.in/esBYe6a2 The Notal Vision Monitoring Center is proud to partner with Dr. Till and his team to catch their patients’ conversions to wet AMD early enough to help maintain functional vision.   #remotemonitoring #digitalhealth #maculardegeneration #ophthalmology #retina

Dr. Sunir Garg highlights age-related #maculardegeneration advancements from American Academy of Ophthalmology's 2024 annual meeting. One topic he discusses is the study of home optical coherence tomography (OCT) technology, which was recently approved by the US FDA. Patients with wet #AMD experience a high treatment burden partly caused by frequent office visits, which this technology is designed to reduce. #AAO2024 #eyesoninnovation #remotemonitoring #digitalhealth
