Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a disease causing choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and consequent irreversible damage in the macula. AMD is classified into dry (atrophic) and wet (exudative) forms, with the latter causing faster vision loss and being the leading cause of blindness in people over 65. Introduction to AMD Age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes for  visual impairment. AMD is charactirized by development of Choroidal neovascularization (CNV) and consequent irreversible damage in the macula. CNV means abnormal Continue reading →

However, the precise control of therapeutic temperatures is challenging due to variations in individual eye characteristics. Modulight and Maculaser have addressed this issue with their innovative ML6710i device. This device utilizes a combination of laser beams to achieve precise thermal Continue reading →
