Public Health England (PHE) and Oxford University evaluated the performance of the
Innova LFD device against PCR. In phase 2 and 3a, where the same sample was used for
both PCR and LFD specificity analyses, no false positives were detected. We conducted a
Phase 4, post marketing surveillance study in 7,546 individuals with a negative PCR result
and compared those results with the LFD results from a separate sample. This study
identified 21 (0.28%) discordant test pairs and therefore concluded that the specificity of
the LFD device was 99.72%. However, this analysis assumed a sensitivity for the PCR of
100% (i.e. that on all 21 discordant samples the PCR, and not the LFD, gave the correct
result). Analysis of the Phase 4 data can also be interpreted with lower PCR sensitivity
levels and is consistent with a PCR sensitivity ranging from 94.2% to 100% and an
associated LFD specificity ranging from 100% to 99.72%
These analyses support the policy of not requiring PCR confirmation of positive LFDs
conducted at ATSs under current levels of population prevalence. The data will be kept
under review and further post marketing surveillance analyses conducted at regular
intervals.
At Amplify with Dr Wernick I was seeking help for seemingly intractable, probably age-related dryness. I've seen other doctors about it, and that has been helpful, but what he explained to me about it and the careful way he answered all my questions gave me so much more of a clear understanding of what is going on (and is not) that I am more able to implement all his and others' recommendations than I was before. And he gave me additional resources for further follow-up. I am most grateful.
Wow! This is a great Eye Care medical facility. I was thoroughly examined by Dr. Pinkhasov for over 2 hours. She made sure to check my eyes for pretty much everything and patiently explained proper care for my eyes. They definitely know how to provide great care and treat their patients right. Now I know why they have such a great reputation and been around for so long.
Dr. Kavner is a gifted diagnostician and orthoptic therapist. He treated me several decades ago for a condition similar to dyslexia. I was having migraines five times per week. I worked with him for about a year and I experienced tremendous improvement (down to 3-4 per year) that has lasted.
Dr. Kavner recommended two types of eye therapy for my daughter. One of them using bio-feedback. In just three sessions she is seeing considerably better. She shouted this morning: Ooh my God! I could not see these letters with my glasses on, and now I can see them without my glasses. If you are willing and able to invest in improving your vision, this is a good place to go to!

I have always found Dr Kavner's work, expertise and wisdom of the highest caliber. As one of the fathers of OT, occupational othomology, his depth and breadth of knowledge about the eyes' health and wellbeing of the patient is exemplary. Cannot say enough good things about him.
