Microcurrent Stimulation Therapy for Nonexudative Age-related Macular Degeneration (i-SIGHT)
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
Evaluate the safety and efficacy of transpalpebral microcurrent stimulation (MCS) therapy for patients with nonexudative (dry) age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Detailed Description
The i-Lumen(TM) AMD device is for in-office therapy use to deliver microcurrent electrical stimulation transpalpebrally (via the eyelid) for use by an ophthalmologist. The i-Lumen AMD device contains proprietary software with preset treatment algorithms and is calibrated at each session to the individual participant.
Up to 30 enrolled participants will be randomized (2:1 active to sham ratio) and complete the initial 5-day loading treatment sessions. Participants completing the initial loading sessions will receive two (2) days of maintenance treatments and be following and be followed through the one (1) year time point.
