Assistive Product Makula-App

Patients can use the macular app to document their illness on their smartphone and monitor changes by entering the current visual acuity and retinal thickness. This allows affected individuals to contribute to the control and monitoring of treatment themselves. The possibility of regular self-monitoring enables patients to better deal with the changes in their vision. The app also contains brief information on important keywords relating to the illness AMD, therapy, and offers of assistance, as well as a search function for competent contacts in the field of suitable assistive products.

The app is also suitable for people with diabetic macular edema (DME), retinal vein occlusion (RVV) and myoper choroidal neovascularization (mCNV), and is intended to help strengthen the active role of those affected and their relatives in managing and keeping appointments, so that they actively deal with the illness outside of the doctor's office. This also relieves the burden on the doctor and specialist staff.

The app is free of charge.
