What Is Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration?
Dry AMD is the gradual deterioration of the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. It is a leading cause of vision loss in people over 50 and often develops quietly in its early stages.
As it progresses, it can cause:
- Blurriness or distortion in central vision
- Difficulty seeing in low light
- Challenges with colour perception
MacuMira has been clinically shown to improve vision and support a better quality of life for patients with dry AMD.
What to Expect During Your MacuMira Treatment
The treatment is comfortable and noninvasive, with no injections or medications required. Our team will create a personalized plan, typically starting with 4 sessions over ten days, each lasting about 30 minutes. During each session:
- You will be seated comfortably in an exam chair.
- A specialized headset will gently deliver microcurrent stimulation to your closed eyes.
- This stimulation enhances blood flow to the macula and supports the production of cellular components that maintain retinal health.
Follow-up sessions are typically scheduled every 2.5 to 3 months to maintain treatment benefits.
Benefits of MacuMira Treatment
MacuMira offers several advantages, including:
- Restored sight: Clinical trials showed patients experienced improved vision
- Enhanced contrast sensitivity: Improved vision in low light and better differentiation between light and dark
- Quick results: Many patients notice improvement within the first 10 days
If you have questions or want more information, our team is here to help.
