What is MacuMira?
MacuMira is the first and only treatment for dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) in Canada and North America. Released in Canada in February 2023, MacuMira is approved by Health Canada and is safe and effective. MacuMira is a non-invasive treatment, meaning it involves no injections or surgeries.
How Does MacuMira Treatment Work?
MacuMira is a device that delivers a patented microcurrent through your closed eyes. The
current treatment regimen is four 32-minute sessions in your first week, followed every 2–3
months by additional 32-minute sessions. Treatment with MacuMira for dry age-related macular degeneration is painless. The eye treatment is also simple, and is typically delivered right in the clinic of your eye care specialist.
Is Macumira Effective?
MacuMira has been proven effective in its landmark clinical trial, and has been approved as a treatment for dry, age-related macular degeneration. In the trial, the vision of all 40 patients treated with MacuMira improved. Nearly half of those patients improved by 10 or more letters on the ETDRS chart (the letter chart you are likely familiar with from eye exams). Improvement in vision was maintained through the duration of the trial. Some improvement is also immediate, right after the first treatment. And optimal results were achieved after only four treatments.
How Is Macumira Treatment Delivered?
MacuMira is a device that resembles one you may have looked into as part of an eye examination. Before you begin, the technician will place two sticker-like electrodes
pads to each side of your head. You’ll also be given a disposable head cap and gloves to help ensure a hygienic environment for all. The treatment will last about half an hour.
Afterwards, the technician will remove the electrode pads, and clean any residue. The device is fully cleaned and sanitized after each use. Some clinics can provide music and other features to make treatment sessions more relaxing
