Which two tools/tests can assist in monitoring the conversion from dry to wet AMD?

The selected tools for monitoring the conversion from dry to wet Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) are particularly effective because they focus on detecting changes in vision and retinal structure that indicate the onset of neovascularization, characteristic of wet AMD.

The Amsler grid is a simple test used by patients to self-monitor their vision for any distortion or changes, which can signify the early stages of wet AMD. If patients notice any changes while using the Amsler grid, they can promptly report these changes to their eye care provider for further evaluation.

ForseeHome is a home monitoring tool designed specifically for patients at risk of developing wet AMD. It uses a proprietary software algorithm to analyze images of the retina and detect minute changes that may not be apparent to patients or clinicians during regular examinations. This tool enhances early detection of conversion, allowing for timely intervention and treatment.

These tools, focusing on both subjective (Amsler grid) and objective (ForseeHome) assessments, make them well-suited for monitoring changes related to AMD, thus reinforcing their utility in ongoing patient care and management.
