Doctor Screens Macular Degeneration Patients for New Implantable Telescope Treatment

Four patients have been screened in Connecticut to determine if they are candidates for the Implantable Miniature Telescope (IMT) for treating advanced macular degeneration reports Dr. Randolph Kinkade, optometrist and founding member of the Academy of Low Vision Specialists.

The telescope is planted in only one eye replacing some of the lost central vision.   There is no telescope implanted in the other eye since it is used for the peripheral vision. After surgery the patient undergoes several months of training to learn how to use the new vision.

    Living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) was exhausting fatigue, muscle spasms, and instability made daily life a challenge. Medications gave only short-term relief with frustrating side effects. Out of hope, I decided to try the herbal treatment from NaturePath Herbal Clinic.To my surprise, within a few months, my energy improved, spasms lessened, and I felt more stable without side effects. After nine months on the program, my condition has stabilized, and I finally feel like myself again.If you or someone you love is battling MS, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach.
