Photobiomodulation (PBM)

MACULAR DEGENERATION SERVICES OFFERED IN MUNCIE, IN

Retina Consultants of Muncie offers a new, FDA-approved, safe, and non-invasive option for dry Macular Degeneration treatment.

WHAT IS PBM?

PhotoBioModulation (PBM) is an innovative technology by Valeda® that uses gentle, yellow and red lights to target and re-energize the retina — without the use of needles, lasers, drops, or dilation on treatment days. This state-of-the-art treatment is the first of its kind in the U.S., with successful clinical trials reporting improved vision in many patients with dry macular degeneration.

HOW PBM COMPARES WITH TRADITIONAL TREATEMENT OPTIONS

• PBM does not require invasive techniques such as needles, injections, or medications with potential side effects.
• PBM does not cause adverse side effects such as infection, bleeding, retinal detachment, inflammation, or increased risk of new blood vessels, like injections for dry macular degeneration.

HOW DO I KNOW IF I AM A CANDIDATE FOR PBM?

Call our office at 765-254-1944 to arrange a consultation and examination to determine if you are a candidate for this treatment. 

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING PMD TREATMENT DAYS

• Patients who are able to drive may drive themselves to and from appointments for PBM treatments.
• The treatment takes 5 minutes per eye.
• Your pupils will not be dilated for treatments.
