Spotlight on Red Light Therapy
Presented by Retina Optometrist, Betty Zhang, OD at Colorado Retina Associates 2026 Mile High Masters of Retina meeting. Pre-recorded talk.
Description: Photobiomodulation (PBM) shows promise in slowing vision loss in patients with intermediate dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Learn mechanisms, evidence, and practical clinical insights for patient care.
Clinical Pearls:
PBM can slow the progression of dry AMD.
PBM may improve best corrected visual acuity for some patients.
Cost and treatment burden are currently the biggest barriers for patients.
Dry disease progression can cause vision loss in an eye with well-controlled wet disease.
