Macular Degeneration
Supporting central vision and slowing further loss
What is Macular Degeneration?
Macular degeneration takes away the sharp centre of your vision first — the part you use for reading, recognising faces, driving — while leaving peripheral sight intact, which is disorientating in a very specific way. It's usually age-related and progresses gradually, faster in the 'wet' form than the 'dry' form, and most people notice it first as a blurred or missing patch right where they're trying to look.
How regenerative medicine supports it
We work with your ophthalmologist's diagnosis and staging, since wet versus dry macular degeneration are managed quite differently and wet AMD needs ongoing anti-VEGF injections that we do not replace. Our programme uses cellular and antioxidant therapies aimed at supporting retinal cell health and slowing further deterioration, tracked against visual acuity and OCT imaging from your eye specialist. Vision already lost to established scarring does not return, and we say that plainly before starting.
Treatments we would consider
Options discussed for this condition
Listed for orientation only. What is actually prescribed depends on your records.
- MSC TherapyMedical team-guided stem cell therapy using mesenchymal cells for joint, immune and whole-body recovery.
- Exosome TherapySignalling-rich exosome protocols, often combined with stem cell therapy, supporting tissue repair, recovery and aesthetics.
- Curcumin IV TherapyIntravenous curcumin for anti-inflammatory and antioxidant support.
- Vitamin IV TherapyPersonalised nutrient infusions for hydration, energy, immunity and recovery.
If the evidence for treating macular degeneration this way is thin, we will tell you before you book — and the review is not billed.
Macular Degeneration — Questions Patients Ask
I have wet macular degeneration and get regular injections — does this replace those?
No, absolutely not — anti-VEGF injections are essential for controlling wet AMD and you must continue them on your ophthalmologist's schedule. Our programme runs alongside that care, aimed at broader retinal support, not as a substitute.
Can this bring back the central vision I've already lost?
Vision lost to established scarring or advanced cell loss generally doesn't return, and we won't promise that it will. Where there's still functioning retinal tissue at risk, our aim is to help protect what remains.
Is this only for dry AMD or does it help wet AMD too?
We see both, but the approach and expectations differ — dry AMD progression is often what we're most focused on slowing, while wet AMD needs your injection therapy as the primary treatment alongside our supportive programme.
How do you actually measure if it's helping my eyesight?
We rely on your ophthalmologist's visual acuity testing and OCT scans as the objective record, comparing results over time rather than going by how your vision feels day to day, which can be quite variable.
Will I still need my regular eye specialist appointments?
Yes, definitely — your ophthalmologist remains central to monitoring and treating this condition, and we coordinate with them rather than working independently of your eye care.
