MacuScope
■ 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. Risk can be diminished by recommending specific nutritional supplements. MacuHealth with LMZ3 is a once-daily oral supplement containing the three essential carotenoids: Lutein, Meso-Zeaxanthin and Zeaxanthin. Repigmentation can usually be quantified in 6 months and accurately monitored with the MacuScope.
