MACUSCOPE TEST

 · This is the first test in the world designed to assess your
    risk factors for developing macular degeneration in later life.

  · Macular Degeneration is an eye disease and has no cure.

  · The test measures your Retinal Macular Pigment levels.

  · The test is painless, safe and only takes about 5 minutes.

  · Should your macular pigment level be low, we would recommend
    a course of dietary supplement tablets designed to increase your
    retinal macular pigment levels.

  · The test can be done following your sight test or you may return at
    a later date to have the test done.

  · We strongly recommend all patients over the age of 30 to have 
    the test done
