Macular Degeneration Treatment

Low Level Light Therapy for Retinal Health

Macular degeneration is a progressive eye condition that affects the central part of the retina, impacting sharp, detailed vision needed for reading, driving, and recognizing faces. At Opticology Eyecare, we are proud to offer Low Level Light Therapy as a non-invasive treatment option designed to support retinal health and help slow functional decline associated with macular degeneration.

What Is LLLT Therapy?

Low Level Light Therapy uses specific wavelengths of gentle, low-intensity light to stimulate cellular activity within the eye. Unlike surgical or injectable treatments, LLLT is painless, dose not generate heat, and is designed to work at the cellular level to support the health of retinal tissues-particularly the mitochondria, which are essential for cellular energy and function.

How LLLT work for Macular Degeneration?

As we age, retinal cells can experience reduced energy production and increased oxidative stress. LLLT works by delivering targeted light energy that helps improve cellular efficiency, enhance metabolic activity, and support the natural repair processes of retinal cells. This therapy is intended to promote healthier retinal function and may help preserved visual performance when used as part of a comprehensive eye care plan.

What to Expect During Treatment

  • LLLT sessions are comfortable, quick, and performed right here in our office.
  • During treatment: You will sit comfortably while the specialized light device delivers controlled light to the eyes. There is no pain, no injections, and no downtime – many patients find the experience relaxing.
  • Duration: Each session takes about 10-15 minutes.
  • Treatment plans are customized based on your eye health, stage of macular degeneration, and clinical findings, with multiple sessions typically recommended for optimal results.

A Proactive Approach to Retinal Wellness

Low Level Light Therapy is not a cure for macular degeneration, but it is an innovative option aimed at supporting retinal health and visual function. When combined with regular eye exams, lifestyle guidance, and nutritional support, LLLT offers a proactive way to care for your vision and eye health.

Schedule a consultation today to learn if LLLT is right for you and how it may fit into your personalized macular degeneration management plan.
