The purpose of this study is to assess the vision improvement achieved by patients with retinal disorders who received corneal treatments by a low vision aid device.
The purpose of this study is to assess the vision improvement achieved by patients with retinal disorders, including age-related macular degeneration and diabetic macular edema, who received corneal treatments by a low vision aid device. Patient records will be analyzed to determine measures of vision improvement including best spectacle-corrected distance visual acuity (CDVA). Analyses will include descriptive statistics and correlation between outcomes and baseline characteristics.

Near infrared light is used to irradiate the cornea to change the modulus of small volumes of anterior stroma. The modulus change produces a change in light distribution onto the retina. Light rays are redirected from dysfunctional areas of the retina to functional areas, thereby improving patient vision.
