Over several years I have found SDM (Vision Protection Therapy) useful in patients with macular degeneration, diabetic macular edema and central serous retinopathy. The procedure is extremely safe, well tolerated by patients and is a welcome addition to treatments I can offer my patients.

My patients appreciate knowing that there is hope for their dry AMD. SDM Vision Protection Therapy is proving to be safe and my patients are achieving stability in their visual acuity and OCT findings.

Doctors are people, too! I’m the inventor of SDM and the developer of Vision Protection Therapy. I’m also a Vision Protection patient. As of April 2022, I’ve had Vision Protection Therapy in both eyes 18 times as neuroprotective treatment for my open angle glaucoma.

My introduction to SDM Vision Protection Therapy has been a profoundly positive one, and will change my treatment paradigms going forward.

For years we have watched helplessly as our AMD patients go blind because “there is nothing we can do." To finally have a data-driven, minimally invasive treatment to prevent AMD progression is transformative. It feels good to be able to say with confidence that there is now something we can do to reduce their risk of AMD progression.
