RAM^® measures FUNCTION.  Nothing else measures retinal acuity as accurately and consistently.

Improves medical care:

    Reduces misdiagnoses

    Avoids unnecessary operations

    Give FULL disclosure of underlying visual acuity

    More realistic informed consent

    Reduces risk of a poor outcome

    Assures good acuity candidates for multifocal IOL implantation

When 20/20 is not obtained, the RAM test is indicated

RAMifications and Benefits of the RAM^®

        4  Validated for measuring retinal acuity in:

              cataract, maculopathy, and glaucoma

        4  Triage: Accurately establishes the source of the vision loss:

              Macula or Cataract?

        4  Avoids referral to establish the cause of the vision loss

        4  Reduces costly tests, i.e., fluorescein angiography or radiological scans

        4  Follow-up exams:  Resolves the role of cataract and maculopathy

              in vision loss

        4  Avoids surgical delays when:

            the macula appears abnormal but the retinal acuity is unexpectedly good!

        4  Avoids unrewarding surgery when:

            the macula appears normal but the retinal acuity is poor!

        4 Gives the patient a realistic expectation from cataract surgery

        4 Quick, takes about 1 minute

        4  Portable: one instrument for multiple offices, bedside, ER,

              nursing home, etc.

        4 Prevents unwarranted surgery:  See epiretinal membrane case example ð
