Clinically Proven Care for Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration
MacuMira is Canada’s first clinically proven, regulatory-approved treatment for dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This noninvasive light therapy is designed to help restore lost vision and improve your quality of life.
Dry AMD can make everyday tasks, such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces, more challenging. MacuMira offers a safe, comfortable, and effective way to target the root causes of vision loss and support your retinal health.
If you’re living with dry AMD, MacuMira may offer the relief and results you’ve been waiting for. We offer MacuMira at our InVision Eyecare location. Ask your optometrist for more information.
What Is Dry AMD?
Dry AMD is a progressive eye condition that damages the macula, the part of your retina responsible for sharp, central vision. It is one of the leading causes of vision loss in adults over 50.
In its early stages, dry AMD may not cause noticeable symptoms. As it develops, it can lead to:
- Blurry or distorted central vision
- Difficulty seeing in low light
- Reduced colour clarity and contrast sensitivity
MacuMira helps reverse some of this damage and support long-term macular health.
Benefits of MacuMira
MacuMira can help you:
- Improve central vision: Clinical trials showed vision improvements in all participating patients
- See more clearly in low light: Many patients report better contrast sensitivity and night vision
- Experience results quickly: Some patients notice changes within the first 10 days
MacuMira is designed for patients with early or intermediate dry AMD. If you have been told there is no treatment for your condition, this noninvasive therapy may be a promising option.
Who Is a Good Fit for MacuMira?
MacuMira treats dry AMD, and individuals with wet AMD require distinct, prompt treatments for the rapid progression of this type. A proper eye examination is necessary to determine if MacuMira will help to improve your vision.
MacuMira may be recommended for patients who:
- Have a confirmed diagnosis of dry age-related macular degeneration
- Are in the early to intermediate stages of the condition
- Have noticed gradual changes in central vision related to AMD
- Are seeking noninvasive options as part of their eye care plan
Begin your treatment process by booking a comprehensive assessment at Pinehouse Eyecare to determine if this is the right step for your care.
A Holistic Approach to Dry AMD
MacuMira treatment is just one piece of your dry AMD management protocol. Your optometrist may recommend additional supportive strategies such as:
- A nutrient-rich diet that supports eye health
- Vitamins and antioxidant supplements formulated for macular health, including vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, lutein, zeaxanthin, and Omega-3 fatty acids
- Personalized lifestyle recommendations based on your stage of AMD, such as stopping smoking or UV protection
For some patients, beta carotene may not be recommended due to increased health risks in those with a history of smoking.

Frequently Asked Questions About MacuMira and Dry AMD
MacuMira is a safe, noninvasive in-office therapy specifically designed to support retinal health and improve visual function in individuals diagnosed with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). It is the first Health Canada–licensed treatment shown to help preserve and enhance central vision for those living with dry AMD.
The treatment delivers low-level microcurrent stimulation through closed eyelids directly to light-sensitive cells in the retina. This gentle stimulation helps boost cellular energy production and waste clearing in retinal tissue, supporting overall macular function.
MacuMira is a comfortable, painless procedure that requires no needles, medications, or surgical incisions. Because it is entirely noninvasive, patients experience no significant downtime and can immediately return to their normal daily routines following an appointment. You may experience a slight tingling sensation during treatment, but it’s generally very comfortable and well-tolerated.
Many patients report noticing improvements in visual clarity or contrast sensitivity within 10 days of starting their initial treatment sessions. Because visual outcomes depend on your baseline retinal health, an initial assessment at our clinic helps establish realistic expectations for your vision.
During a session, you sit comfortably while the device delivers gentle microcurrents across your closed eyelids for approximately 30 minutes. The procedure is completely painless, allowing you to relax quietly throughout your visit. The treatment is delivered at our InVision Eyecare location.
If you are interested in exploring MacuMira treatment, please book a consultation at Pinehouse Eyecare. You will receive a thorough eye health evaluation and can discuss your specific needs and expectations during your appointment to determine if the treatment is right for you.
