Posted on February 22, 2026 by Betty Zhang, OD in Past CE/CME Presentations
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.
