What Is Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration?
Dry age-related macular degeneration is the gradual deterioration of the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision. It is a leading cause of blindness in individuals over 50 and often develops without symptoms in its early stages.
However, as it progresses, it can lead to:
- Blurriness or distortion in central vision
- Difficulty seeing in low light
- Challenges with colour perception
MacuMira has been clinically shown to restore vision in patients with dry AMD and can improve both vision and quality of life.
What to Expect During Your MacuMira Treatment
The treatment is comfortable and noninvasive and involves no injections or medications.
Your eye care provider will create a personalized plan, typically starting with four sessions over 10 days, each lasting about 30 minutes.
During treatment:
- You’ll be seated comfortably in an exam chair.
- A specialized headset will be placed on your head, which will gently deliver microcurrent stimulation to your closed eyes.
- This microcurrent enhances blood flow to nourish the macula and stimulates the production of essential cellular components that support retinal health.
To maintain the benefits of the treatment, you’ll typically have follow-up sessions every 2.5 to 3 months.
Benefits of MacuMira Treatment for Dry AMD
MacuMira offers several benefits, including:
- Restored sight: Many patients saw an improvement in vision. Clinical trial results.
- Enhanced contrast sensitivity: Many patients reported improved vision in low-light conditions and better differentiation between light and dark.
- Quick results: Most patients started seeing results within the first 10 days of treatment.

How MacuMira AMD Treatment Works
MacuMira treatment is completely noninvasive, meaning there are no needles or medications involved. Instead, the treatment uses a safe, low-level electrical current applied through the closed eyelids during a quick, 32-minute session.
This current works by “waking up” the cells in the eye, helping them clear waste and function better. In technical terms, it stimulates the retinal pigment epithelial (RPE) cells and improves cellular function. Specifically, it enhances mitochondrial ATP production, aids in clearing macular waste like drusen, and promotes the regeneration of retinal and neural cells.
MacuMira dry AMD treatment is meticulously designed to bolster the eye’s natural processes, contributing to healthier macular functioning while maintaining patient comfort and safety. It supports the eye’s natural ability to repair and renew itself, making it possible for patients to see more clearly.
Patients report measurable improvements in vision within the first 10 days, with clinical trials showing participants averaging an 8.8-letter gain in visual acuity on the ETDRS eye chart. Importantly, the procedure has demonstrated a strong safety profile, with no adverse effects recorded, making it a reliable and effective option for managing and enhancing visual function in dry AMD patients.
