Abstract
The novel design of the eye self-test device increases patient compliance by reminding the patient to self-test and allows the patient'"'"'s doctor to monitor compliance with the testing regimen. The data may be recorded and the patient notified if a change in vision necessitates examination by the doctor. The test is robustly manufactured to withstand breakage and is lightweight and portable. Its preferred method of attachment is such that it is capable of adhering to any vertically visible surfaces such that the conspicuous location of the test should encourage an improvement in testing compliance. Patient information, including instructions for testing and the doctor'"'"'s name and telephone number for contacting in case of emergency may be provided internal or external to the device.
