At Haig‑Brown Optometry, we understand how important it is to protect the vision you rely on every day. For patients living with dry age‑related macular degeneration (dry AMD), one of our goals is to help maintain and stabilise the vision you currently have.
To support this, we are pleased to offer Photobiomodulation (PBM) — a safe, non‑invasive light‑based therapy designed to promote healthier retinal function, and prevent transformation to wet AMD.
Dry AMD affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for detailed vision. Over time, the cells in this area can become stressed and less efficient, which may lead to:
Although dry AMD progresses slowly, early and consistent care can help preserve remaining vision for as long as possible.
Photobiomodulation is a gentle therapy that uses specific wavelengths of visible and near‑infrared light to support the health of retinal cells. Instead of acting like a medication or surgery, PBM works at the cellular energy level, helping the retina function more efficiently.
Research suggests PBM may help by:
Because of these effects, PBM is being used as a way to help maintain and stabilise vision in people with dry AMD.
At Haig‑Brown Optometry, our focus with PBM is not to restore lost vision, but to help preserve and stabilise your existing vision for as long as possible. PBM is not a cure for dry AMD, but it offers a proactive, non‑invasive way to support the health of the retinal cells that remain.
For many patients, taking steps to protect their vision provides reassurance and a sense of control over their long‑term eye health.
If you or a loved one has dry AMD and would like to explore whether Photobiomodulation is right for you, the team at Haig‑Brown Optometry is here to help.
