What is MacuMira AMD Treatment?

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss, especially in individuals over 50. It affects the macula, the central part of the retina, which is responsible for clear, sharp vision. AMD progresses in two forms:

  • Dry AMD: Characterized by the degeneration of the macula, causing gradual vision loss.
  • Wet AMD: Involves the growth of abnormal blood vessels under the retina, leading to more rapid vision impairment.

Our Innovative Approach to AMD Treatment:

Traditional treatments for AMD have focused primarily on slowing the progression of the disease. However, our Neurostimulation Therapy offers a groundbreaking approach that can help stimulate retinal activity and improve vision quality for AMD patients.

How Does MacuMira AMD Work?

MacuMira involves applying targeted electrical impulses to the retina to enhance its functionality. The therapy is designed to:

  • Stimulate the retinal cells that remain active despite AMD damage.
  • Promote better communication between the eyes and the brain, enhancing visual processing.
  • Help reduce vision deterioration and, in some cases, restore partial vision.

Benefits of MacuMira Treatment for AMD

  • Non-invasive & Painless: Our neurostimulation therapy is non-surgical and completely painless, ensuring patient comfort.
  • Slows Disease Progression: Studies show that neurostimulation can slow the progression of AMD, preserving vision for longer.
  • Improves Visual Acuity: Many patients experience improved clarity and sharpness of vision after consistent treatment sessions.

Safe & Proven: MacuMira is a Health Canada approved treatment for vision disorders and has been clinically tested with positive results in AMD patients.
