Dry age-related macular degeneration progresses slowly, resulting in significant loss over time. Most interventions focus on watchful waiting rather than proactive support.
Photobiomodulation offers a non-invasive option, targeting retinal bioenergetics and microvascular dynamics. This has led to interest in system-wide adoption beyond single-site pilots.
The question is no longer whether light can modulate retinal physiology, but how to implement dosing, measurement, and safety at scale.
The key challenge is ensuring reproducible results across operators and clinics.
