Home OCT a reliable tool for managing fluid fluctuation

Summary: Eye doctors are using a new tool called Home OCT to check patients' eyes right from their own houses. It takes just 47 seconds to take a picture of the retina. An AI program checks the picture for hidden fluid and alerts the doctor if there is a problem. This helps patients with eye diseases like wet AMD skip frequent office visits, extending the time between appointments from 8 weeks to over 15 weeks. It acts as a great safety net for patients who have a hard time traveling to the clinic.
