One ecosystem for meeting many practice needs.

The most important benefits to his practice come from the use of FORUM with his patients, in the examination room. For patients with retinal diseases, especially in the anti-VEGF era, Retina Workplace* shines. Patients are very anxious at the idea of starting treatment with eye injections, especially when facing active vision loss. “We give patients their first anti-VEGF injections a few times a week in our practice and it requires a careful conversation with every patient. By showing patient’s their macular pathology in the exam room, with a combination of true colour photography and OCT bridges the knowledge gap for patients, helping them to understand their disease. I find it very rare that a patient declines to pursue an appropriate treatment with this technique. For patients referred out for macular surgery, it is also very gratifying to show patients their pre and post-op macular anatomy, which gives them encouragement along the way while recovering from surgery. ” Once treatment has begun, it is very reassuring for the patient to see their progress in both a graph of retinal thickness, as well improvement in macular fluid. Retina Workplace allows Dr. Nelson to review a trio of macular cubes in front of the patient. “Retina Workplace also provides an intuitive view of injection intervals, which can be charted along with the macular thickness data. During treat-and-extend, I find this the simplest way to review current and past treatment intervals for our many long term anti-VEGF patients. Many patients keenly await seeing their data for themselves at their visit, and I know they understand their pathology and treatment plan.”
