I'm A Patient
I'm A Provider
For many years, delivering a diagnosis of dry age-related macular degeneration felt like a difficult conversation with few real solutions. We could offer lifestyle advice and regular monitoring, but patients often left feeling uncertain about their future. Now, eye care professionals across Canada have a new way to provide proactive support, guided by modern care strategies for dry AMD.
Eye doctors are choosing MacuMira because it offers a first-of-its-kind, non-invasive treatment for dry AMD, enabling them to transition from passive monitoring to active care, improve patient outcomes, and expand their practices.
A Familiar Challenge and a New Hope
The Dry AMD Conversation
As a common condition affecting the macula, dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) targets the part of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. It can make daily tasks like reading, driving, or seeing faces difficult. As eye doctors, we’ve had countless conversations explaining this diagnosis and its potential impact on a person’s independence.
The Limits of Previous Care
Previously, our management plan for dry AMD focused on slowing its progression. We recommended specific vitamins, a healthy diet, and UV protection. While these steps are helpful, they didn’t offer a direct treatment for the vision loss patients were already experiencing.
A New Option for Dry AMD Treatment
How MacuMira Works
MacuMira offers a different approach to dry age- related macular degeneration. It is a completely non-invasive device that uses a specialized headset to deliver a gentle microcurrent to the retina. This process, which can be monitored with standard retinal imaging, helps support the health of the retinal cells responsible for vision.
A Simple In-Office Procedure
The treatment plan is straightforward and easy to incorporate into a clinic’s workflow. It typically begins with a series of short sessions over a couple of weeks. Each session lasts about 30 minutes, and patients can sit comfortably while the device works—no injections or medications are involved.
The Impact on Patients and Your Practice
Noticeable Vision Improvements
The results, as detailed in many positive patient experiences, can have a meaningful impact on your patients’ lives. In a clinical trial, nearly half of the people treated showed improved vision. Many report better contrast sensitivity, which can make a big difference when trying to see in low-light conditions.
A Renewed Sense of Independence
When vision improves, so does a person’s quality of life. Patients share stories about feeling confident enough to drive again or being able to read a menu without difficulty. Providing this kind of outcome is one of the most rewarding parts of our work.
Results vary from person to person, and not everyone will notice the same level of improvement. MacuMira is designed to support visual function, complementing your overall eye care plan.
