The center goes first
Blurred or distorted central vision, straight lines that appear wavy, a blank or dark spot in the center of your visual field, colors that seem less vivid, while peripheral vision typically stays intact.
Macular Degeneration
Reading is getting harder. Faces are starting to blur at the center.
The straight lines that look wavy. The word you have to look slightly to the side of to actually read. You’ve been told to take AREDS vitamins and come back for monitoring visits. There is a different way to support macular health: support the circulation feeding the retina, coordinated with your ophthalmologist’s care.

Why monitoring alone can feel like waiting for bad news
The independence you’re quietly worried about
The books you read less. The faces you have trouble recognizing across a room. The unspoken fear about driving, and about how much more this could take.
Monitoring alone can feel like waiting
For many patients, especially with dry macular degeneration, the standard plan is vitamins and monitoring visits to track change over time. Monitoring tells you where the disease is; it gives you nothing to do between visits. You deserve something active in the meantime.
The gap in standard macular degeneration care
The standard playbook for dry AMD is AREDS2 vitamins and monitoring visits, with injectable treatments reserved for the wet form once it progresses. What’s often missing is active support for retinal circulation and cellular health during the dry, earlier stages.
Built for the wait-and-see stage
Many macular degeneration patients here are in the dry, earlier stages, coordinating vitamins and monitoring with their ophthalmologist. The work here is aimed at the supply side, circulation and cellular energy to retinal tissue, with your monitoring visits as the shared scoreboard.
The clinical logic: The acupuncture addresses the optic nerve pathway associated with visual processing. ATP Resonance BioTherapy® supports the retina’s cellular energy processes. O3 ReBoot Therapy® supports oxygen delivery and microcirculation to retinal tissue.
How we work with your doctor
Nothing changes with your AREDS vitamins or injections except through your ophthalmologist. Physicians across Broward County send us macular degeneration patients for circulation and tissue support alongside their monitoring, and many patients simply send themselves. Ongoing monitoring and any wet-AMD treatment stay with your ophthalmologist.

You’re Not a Case Number
Your protocol, personalized
There’s no fixed number of visits and no generic timeline. Your treatment frequency, therapy mix, and program length are set at your evaluation and adjusted at every visit based on how you’re actually responding.
What shapes your plan
Severity & duration
How long you’ve had it and how far it’s progressed sets your starting intensity.
Your response
Visit frequency steps up or down based on your measured progress at each visit, not a preset week count.
Your goal
Symptom relief, or a return to the things you miss: we define the finish line with you, not for you.
Candidacy comes first: the evaluation determines whether the program fits your case; cost is discussed in person after that.
The Plan
Three steps, starting with the consultation
- 1
$45 initial consultation
Bring your ophthalmologist’s records if you have them. We evaluate your case, including whether you’re not a candidate.
- 2
Personalized protocol
A plan built around which stage you’re in and your current visual function.
- 3
Support for the retina
Direct support for retinal circulation and eye health, staged and adjusted as you go.
What Support Feels Like
Someone in your corner between appointments
A plan that starts now, not at the next appointment.
Attention paid to you, not only to the scan.
Something to do besides wait and see.
Central vision loss affects daily independence
Progressive central vision loss affects reading, driving, recognizing faces, and everyday independence. Supporting retinal circulation and overall eye health is worth pursuing for its own sake.
Questions, Answered
Macular Degeneration FAQs
The therapies here support overall circulation and tissue health alongside your ophthalmologist’s injectable treatment, not instead of it.
No. Already-lost photoreceptor function is not typically reversible. What this supports is the circulation and health of the retina’s remaining tissue, alongside your ophthalmologist’s care.
No, continue any vitamin regimen your ophthalmologist recommends. This is additive, not a replacement.
Your ophthalmologist monitors and treats disease progression directly, including injections for wet AMD; our approach supports the broader circulation and cellular health feeding the retina, a complementary angle, not a substitute.
Many people describe a blurred, dim, or distorted spot in the center of their vision, while side vision stays clearer, which is why straight lines can start to look wavy or bent. Everyone’s experience differs, and any change in your vision should be evaluated by your ophthalmologist.
Yes, and many patients arrive exactly that way. No referral is required, though; you can call directly.
