We have often spoken about the evidence that testing at the recommended frequency with ForeseeHome can help with early detection of conversion from intermediate dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) to wet AMD while the visual acuity is good. Testing with ForeseeHome should be done as often as possible, up to once a day.
Several tips that may be helpful to remind you to test daily are listed below:
• Many of us take daily medicine. Do your ForeseeHome testing just before or after you finish taking your medications. If you take medicines more than once a day, consider linking ForeseeHome testing with the first time you take those medications.
• Set a daily timer. Many of us have a smartphone. These all include a feature for an alert that can be set for a specific time once a day. These alarms can be set with a remarkably annoying ring until they are shut off.
• Do you do something once a day at the same time every day, such as reading the newspaper, drinking a morning cup of coffee, or taking a walk? Why not test with ForeseeHome just before, or after?
• Many people talk with someone such as a relative or an old friend, once a day, regularly. You might suggest to that person to ask you each day: “Did you test with ForeseeHome today?”
We are creatures of habit. Why not make testing with ForeseeHome a habit? It’s a good habit to prioritize your eyes!
