AC Stimulation uses the AC STIM device, delivering electrical impulses to damaged and diseased photoreceptor cells. This electrical stimulation enhances the activity and function of these retinal cells, thereby reinforcing visual signaling along the optic nerve and partially restoring impaired vision.

AC STIM is the only home vision therapy device (based on all research studies done to date). It has a unique Regulator and Processor that adjusts the frequency and power based on each individual’s retinal tissue acceptance. The lower frequency increases energy production (ATP) in the retina, reverts the damaging retina, preserves visual acuity, and the visual field. The higher frequency helps relax the retinal tissue, increase blood supply to the retina, stimulate and energize dormant optic cells, and boost the cells’ ability to rid themselves of waste products which interfere with the flow of energy, nutrients, and communication. The treatment also attracts adult stem cells to help stimulate possible cell regeneration.

It is not magic or a fast fix for retina degeneration. Any improvement is a slow, progressive change; however, in general, the results are very encouraging, even if it takes at least 10 to 15 months to see noticeable improvement for most of patients. Some patients who have not shown improvement often report that their vision has not gotten worse. Please kindly note that even a little improvement means that the disease is not progressing. This is a huge accomplishment. Being able to stop or slow down the deterioration process is a valuable achievement.
