Dry AMD Treatments

Dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive condition that affects central vision, which can impact daily activities such as reading and recognising faces. While there is currently no cure, there are a range of treatments and management strategies designed to slow progression and support long-term visual function.

Because dry AMD can vary in severity and progression, treatment is tailored to each individual. A comprehensive macular assessment is essential to determine the stage of the condition and guide the most appropriate plan.

Below is an overview of the main management and treatment options available.

Our Treatments

Photobiomodulation Light therapy

Photobiomodulation (light therapy) is a non-invasive treatment that uses targeted wavelengths of light to support retinal cell function in dry AMD. It aims to slow progression and help maintain vision by improving cellular health within the macula.

E-Scoop Lenses

E-Scoop lenses are specially designed lenses that help people with dry AMD use their remaining vision more effectively. By redirecting images onto healthier areas of the retina, they can improve contrast, reduce glare, and support clearer, more comfortable vision in everyday life.

Treatment Plan

Before beginning treatment, a comprehensive eye examination will be conducted. This includes detailed imaging of your eyes using OCT and Optos scans, allowing the optometrist to establish baseline measurements and assess the overall health of the retina.

The Research

A growing body of clinical research has demonstrated meaningful benefits of light-based therapies for people with dry age-related macular degeneration (Dry AMD). Studies including the LIGHTSITE III trial have explored how targeted light treatment can support retinal health and visual outcomes.
