In an easy to administer, no dilation required, 2-minute test, the MacuScope accurately measures the density of the protective carotenoids that are actively accumulated in the anterior portion of the central macula. Low readings, based on a normative database, place a patient at high risk for macular degeneration. Risk can be diminished by prescribing specific nutritional supplements. MacuHealth with LMZ3 is a once-daily oral supplement that contains the three essential carotenoids: lutein, meso-zeaxanthin and zeaxanthin. Repigmentation can usually be quantified in 6 months and accurately monitored with the MacuScope.
