Dry AMD Treatment
Understanding Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a leading cause of vision loss among older adults, affecting the central portion of the retina known as the macula. Dry AMD, which constitutes 85-90% of AMD cases, results from the accumulation of drusen beneath the retina, leading to symptoms such as blurred or distorted central vision.
Introducing the Macular Wellness Package (MWP)
Upper Grand Eye Care is proud to present a comprehensive management plan for dry AMD, featuring cutting-edge therapies supported by robust studies. Our Macular Wellness Package is tailored to address the underlying causes of dry AMD and promote visual health.
1. Microcurrent Therapy – MacuMira
MacuMira represents a groundbreaking approach to treating dry AMD. Utilizing microcurrent technology, this therapy targets the underlying causes of AMD by delivering precise electrical currents to the macula. These currents stimulate cellular repair and regeneration, enhancing mitochondrial activity and promoting blood flow to the eyes. The treatment is non-invasive, with no injections or systemic drugs involved, making it a safe and effective option for patients. Clinical trials have demonstrated improvements in vision for individuals with dry AMD, enhancing visual experience.

2. Photobiomodulation Therapy – Arunalight Glasses
Arunalight Glasses offer an advanced form of red light therapy specifically designed for dry AMD management. These FDA-approved glasses deliver red light at a wavelength of 670nm directly to the eyes, stimulating cellular processes that support retinal health. By promoting blood flow, reducing inflammation, and stimulating tissue repair, Arunalight Glasses can help alleviate symptoms associated with dry AMD and slow disease progression. The treatment regimen is simple, requiring just 3 minutes of use every other day, and the glasses are non-invasive and 100% UV-free, ensuring patient safety and comfort.
3. Vitamins and Minerals – MacuHealth and MacuHealth Plus
MacuHealth supplements are formulated to provide essential nutrients that support retinal health and may help slow the progression of dry AMD. These supplements contain a unique blend of carotenoids, including lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin, which help increase macular pigment density and protect against oxidative damage. Additionally, MacuHealth Plus includes vitamins C and E, zinc, and copper, further supporting ocular health and function. MacuHealth is recommended for mild Dry AMD and MacuHealth Plus is recommended for moderate and severe Dry AMD.
Additional Components of the Macular Wellness Package
