What Is Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration?
Dry age-related macular degeneration is the gradual deterioration of the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision. It is a leading cause of blindness in individuals over 50 and often develops without symptoms in its early stages.
However, as it progresses, it can lead to:
- Blurriness or distortion in central vision
- Difficulty seeing in low light
- Challenges with colour perception
MacuMira has been clinically shown to restore vision in patients with dry AMD and can improve both vision and quality of life.
What to Expect During Your MacuMira Treatment
The treatment is comfortable and noninvasive and involves no injections or medications.
Your eye care provider will create a personalized plan, typically starting with four sessions over 10 days, each lasting about 30 minutes.
During treatment:
- You’ll be seated comfortably in an exam chair.
- A specialized headset will be placed on your head, which will gently deliver microcurrent stimulation to your closed eyes.
- This microcurrent enhances blood flow to nourish the macula and stimulates the production of essential cellular components that support retinal health.
To maintain the benefits of the treatment, you’ll typically have follow-up sessions every 2.5 to 3 months.

MacuMira offers several benefits, including:
- Restored sight: In a clinical trial, 95% of patients showed improved vision.
- Enhanced contrast sensitivity: Many patients reported improved vision in low-light conditions and better differentiation between light and dark.
- Quick results: Most patients started seeing results within the first 10 days of treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About AMD and MacuMira
No, MacuMira does not cure dry AMD, as age-related macular degeneration cannot be fully cured.
However, this noninvasive microcurrent therapy helps support retinal cell health, which can improve visual function and help preserve your vision.
MacuMira uses gentle, painless microcurrent stimulation delivered through closed eyelids to help revitalize light-sensitive cells in the retina. This noninvasive, in-office procedure requires no needles, medications, or surgical incisions.
MacuMira is designed for individuals diagnosed with dry age-related macular degeneration in the early to intermediate stages who wish to proactively support their central vision. If you are interested in learning more about this treatment option, schedule a consultation or comprehensive eye exam at our Saskatoon clinic today.
Yes, ongoing comprehensive eye exams are essential to monitor your retinal health and track your macular stability over time. Regular exams allow our optometrists to assess your progress and adjust your care plan as needed.
Many patients report noticing improvements in visual clarity or contrast sensitivity within the first 10 days of starting treatment. Because individual outcomes depend on your overall retinal health, we recommend booking an evaluation with our team to discuss realistic expectations.
Patients usually complete an initial series of short in-office sessions followed by periodic maintenance appointments, typically every three months, to sustain visual benefits. Your optometrist will determine a tailored schedule during your appointment based on your eye health.
