PDT/anti-VEGF combination therapies hold promise of decreased risk of recurrence, but at the expense of poorer visual outcome than can usually be achieved with anti-VEGF monotherapy.

However, there remains a small but important risk of endophthalmitis (intraocular infection). It is unlikely that preoperative prophylaxis and postoperative care will be able to completely eliminate the risk of endophthalmitis. Hence...

About MyVisionTest
MyVisionTest.com has been developed to supplement the traditional Amsler Grid for those patients that have been instructed by their eye doctor to monitor their vision at home. MyVisionTest employs a technique known as entoptic perimetry to detect defects in your vision. Research has found entoptic perimetry to be superior to the traditional Amsler grid in detecting such defects. We also offer you the ability to save and review past test results, making it easier for you to detect changes in your vision over time.
