I use “ Eye-charger” a flashlight set to a certain frequency to stimulate mitochondria and it’s a home device researched and tested at the Univ. of London. This device is for AMD. Consult chatGPT on the specifics. GPT observes that the research behind this little device is sound. The device costs 89.00. Nothing offered for dry intermediate AMD except AREDS 2 in the states.

In November 2024, the FDA approved photobiomodulation / low does light therapy for Early and intermediate dry AMD. And we have injections for GA.
I'm early intermediate dry which I would be a candidate for the therapy but I'm not sure if my insurance covers it yet. It's only been approved by the FDA for two months.
Even though I've been told by several specialists it will take decades to affect me, I'm still worried about everything, especially my future.
What stage are you, how old are you, and when were you diagnosed? Is the flashlight therapy only for certain stages and is it helping you? Have tests shown progress?
