Electrical Stimulation and Dry MD
US company Acuity Medical are currently developing a system to treat the dry form of macular degeneration with electrical stimulation.
Called TheraMac(TM), it delivers minute amounts of biocurrent to the retina through a probe that touches the skin around the eye. The total time for treating one eye is approximately 15 minutes. A series of clinical trials have been completed to date.
