What is the purpose of this trial?

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is an eye condition that affects the retina and can lead to progressive vision loss. This study will evaluate the effects of MacuMira microcurrent stimulation on dark adaptation in adults with intermediate dry AMD.

Participants will receive four in-office treatment sessions over 10 to 14 days. Dark adaptation and other measures of visual function and retinal health will be assessed before treatment and at one and three months after treatment.
