Wise Eyes enables your patients to participate in monitoring their eye health with the touch of a finger in just a few minutes a day. By providing an easy-to-use tool that allows them to track, record, and report worsening AMD symptoms to you at your next appointment.

Wise Eyes combines both Amsler and a white noise field to maximize detecting worsening AMD symptoms more effectively* by combining both testing techniques, it enhances the chances of detecting subtle distortions and aids in a more thorough assessment of macular degeneration-related changes. Studies have shown that for a patient using the Amsler grid alone, sensitivity and specificity to diagnose neovascular AMD were 67% (95% CI, 51%-79%) and 99% (95% CI, 85%-100%), respectively.  Conclusions and Relevance  Although the Amsler grid is easy and inexpensive to use for the detection of metamorphopsia, its sensitivity may be at levels typically not recommended for monitoring.**

If you combine the noise field perimetry (NFP) and the Amsler grid (AG), the statistics change.  A study performed in 2015 showed AG had a sensitivity of 67.3% and specificity of 66.7% for the detection of exudative AMD, while NFP had a sensitivity and specificity of 51.0% and 66.7%, respectively (n = 82 eyes; 49 dry, 33 exudative). AG sensitivity was significantly greater than NFP (p < 0.05). Both testing methods (AG and NFP) were analyzed together, and showed a combined sensitivity and specificity of 73.5% and 57.6%, respectively.  Analysis of the two tests combined showed increased sensitivity for detecting exudative AMD, compared to either test alone.***
