The retina is the engine of your vision

The retina is a very delicate neural tissue which contains our photoreceptors. Our retina processes visual information and when the central part functions normally, it gives us 20/20 vision. But 20/20 vision is not always healthy vision.

Hidden irregular spots of retinal dysfunction can go unnoticed, especially early on. There are a number of retinal conditions such as dry or wet Macular Degeneration (AMD) or diabetic retinopathy which can “hide” in those spots.

What is Macustat^TM?

Macustat™ is a 3-minute online test of your central vision and macular function. Similar to tests eye doctors routinely use in their clinics and offices such as the Amsler Grid and Microperimetry , Macustat™ is a high accuracy test of your central vision and macular function. Delivered via the KYS telemedicine platform, Macustat™ can be accessed remotely through your computer or mobile device. Macustat™ is an advanced multi-plex physiologic retinal test of our central macular function. It has the following components:

Dynamic Amsler grid evaluation
Central visual acuity (reading visual acuity)
Central scotoma (blind spot) registration
High-Precision Hyperacuity Perimetry (PHP)
Photoreceptor stress test

Who needs Macustat^TM?

Telemedicine enables anyone with an access to an Internet-enabled computer or mobile device to take a Macustat™ vision test at home, any time, any place. Results are reviewed and graded by the participating doctor of your choice. Your participating doctor will provide you with a referral code– you will need this code in order to register with KYS.

How do I start?

Please contact your eye doctor for a referral code. If your doctor has not yet signed up for the KYS platform, he/she will need to contact us. Once you have the code, you can register with a quick 2-step process. You can start testing right away after you register. Your information is confidential and your eye doctor will email the results, along with any other helpful information.
