Photobiomodulation for Early/Intermediate Dry AMD

I’ll be 65 in a few days. And yes, I was very upset when first diagnosed. I thought I might go blind within weeks. 😂 But I felt much better after seeing my doc. I also have a sister-in-law in the medical device industry. I asked her what she knows about this treatment. She said she knows some people who work for the company who make this medical device and she’ll ask them about it. Of course, they’ll probably have glowing things to say about their own device, but I’d like as much info as possible. And my SIL is pretty good about wading through the hype and getting the real scoop. I’ll let you know what she finds out, and will try to remember to post what my doc says. I think my appt. is on the 21st, so will be a while.

The photbiomodulation is a light therapy that was approved in the US last month, November 2024. It's not a device.
Were you mid 50s when diagnosed? My regular opthalmologist was surprised I would develop this at my age and my good health and weight. I'm shocked too. I had never heard of it before.
