Understanding AMD
dAMD stands for “dry age-related macular degeneration,” which is a form of age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It is also known as the atrophic or non-exudative form of AMD. dAMD progresses more slowly than the wet (or neovascular) form of AMD and is characterised by the gradual thinning and breakdown of the macula, the part of the retina responsible for central vision. As a result, people with dAMD experience a slow loss of vision, particularly in the central visual field, although it usually doesn’t lead to complete blindness.
Dry AMD accounts for the majority of AMD cases, approximately 90%. The condition typically progresses through three stages: early, intermediate, and advanced, with vision loss becoming more severe in the later stages.
The Treatment Process
An initial comprehensive eye examination will take place before treatment commences. At this appointment, in-depth scans will be taken of your eyes to document baseline measurements and assess the overall health of the retina.
The treatment typically takes place over a few sessions where you will wear a light therapy mask, alternating between red and yellow light to stimulate the cells in the retina.
