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.

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..."
