While it is possible that combination steroid/PDT therapy for AMD may have some benefits, such as decreasing the need for retreatment, the visual outcomes are now believed to be the same as PDT monotherapy. Now,...
Avastin and Lucentis produce same vision outcomes for AMD
This is yet another in a series of recent papers reporting on Avastin vs Lucentis comparisons. To date, no study has found any significant difference in clinical efficacy. However, like the current study, no study has been large enough, nor sufficiently long in duration to find small but potentially important differences in safety. While these...

However, if a hemorrhage does occur, then it will be larger in patients taking blood thinners. This study also found that high blood pressure is an important risk factor for subretinal hemorrhage...

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.
