The Newest Technology in Preventative Eye-Care - the QuantifEye MPS II - now available in Chatsworth, CA

Testing for the risk of Age-related Macular Degeneration, a leading cause of blindness, is now available to everyone.

Local business Optometrics of Chatsworth has recently acquired the QuantifEye MPS II, the most reliable and accurate device currently available for assessing low macular pigment, the key risk factor in AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration) and other visual performance challenges.

After taking the test, patients receive a “score” that indicates their MPOD (Macular Pigment Optical Density) which is responsible for blocking harmful blue light from reaching the visual cells in the back of the eye.

The QuantifEye is revolutionary in that it takes preventative care to an entirely new level by assessing risk factor, identifying which patients need supplementation as well as allowing them to track the efficacy of the supplements through periodic testing. MPOD measurement and tracking is also quick and affordable as it only takes about ten minutes and the cost is less than $20.
