Photobiomodulation for Early/Intermediate Dry AMD

I spoke to my retina specialist last week and he had heard of it. I am a candidate since it is best used for intermediate and early AMD with a visual acuity of 20/120 or better but data is limited. It has been in Europe for years. He does not have the machine and has no plans to get one soon. Hopkins would probably have one if I'm interested
I also asked about the eye drops that are in research with possible innovative results. My Dr. Told me it did not come up in his last board or whatever meeting it was but he will keep his patients posted as new develops come about.
Did you find out if you are intermediate AMD?
I have an appointment mid March.

I’ve been trying to find out who in the US has a machine . I emailed Brightfocus and the company that makes them and no response. I have contacted companies in England and there are at least 3 that I could go to. I just hate to travel there and spend 3 weeks for the treatments when I should be able to go here in the US
