Question:
On the ETDFL2024, the group list for “myopia (near sight)” is the same as Group 22 (for Macular degeneration).
1237: Eye Myopia [Retyne
Light mat] Group 22: 0.15, 0.18, 0.8, 5.5, 33.2, 172.3, 471.2, 557.82, 603.44, 921.88
Why is the group list for Macular degeneration used for myopia?
Is it because the group list for Macular degeneration is effective enough for myopia?
Or is it because the effective group list for myopia is not yet discovered and for the moment until it is discovered, the group list for Macular degeneration is used for myopia?
Answer:
In myopia, excessive elongation of the eyeball stretches and thins the retina and underlying tissues. This structural change can lead to myopic macular degeneration (MMD), a condition characterized by macular deterioration resulting from high myopia. Consequently, both myopia and macular degeneration contribute to macular damage, albeit on different scales.
The Retyne Mask’s infrared frequencies are specifically designed to target and reverse macular deterioration—a shared symptom of these two conditions. By addressing the underlying structural weakening, the therapy aims to mitigate the progression of damage caused by myopia and age-related macular degeneration.
