Jay S. Pepose, MD, PHD, St. Louis, MO.:   "Undetected dysfunction of the macula or optic nerve can be avoided in many cases through the use of diagnostic devices such as the AMA Optics Retinal Acuity Meter" ---------------- Harvey Minatoya, MD , Hawaii: "When OCT is abnormal, the RAM tells me the degree the abnormal findings affect macular function and this knowledge gives me peace of mind." ---------------------  Jonathan D. Solomon, MD, Bowie , MD:  "I have found the RAM to be an indispensable part of the lifestyle lens evaluation, and is equally as important as corneal and macular tomography" -------------------------- Steven Kane, PHD, MD, NYC:   "The RAM® can be a quick and easy alternative to expensive and more time consuming procedures when evaluating unexpected vision loss."    -----------

"I find the RAM test an extremely useful tool in helping determine the visual potential in patients with cataract and other concomitant retinal pathologies such as Dry AMD or epiretinal membranes.  A poor response on the RAM usually correlates with a poorer visual result with cataract extraction. I also use RAM testing in patients with decreased vision of unknown etiology to quickly rule out a refractive cause of the visual decrease."
