MacuMira: Revolutionary Therapy for Dry Macular Degeneration Disease
Maple Ridge Eye Care is now a provider of MacuMira, the first clinically proven and Health Canada-approved treatment for dry age-related macular degeneration.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common eye condition that affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by the deterioration of the macula, which is responsible for central vision.
With MacuMira, we aim to provide our patients with a safe and effective solution that may halt the progression of AMD and improve their vision. Learn more about MacuMira here or download the MacuMira patient treatment booklet.

What Is Age-Related Macular Degeneration?
AMD can significantly impact one’s ability to read, drive, and recognize faces.
There are 2 types of AMD: dry and wet. Dry AMD, the most common form, occurs when the macula thins over time, leading to the accumulation of drusen (yellow deposits) beneath the retina. This gradual degeneration results in blurred or distorted central vision.
Symptoms of dry AMD may include:
- Blurred or hazy vision
- Need for brighter light when reading or working
- Decreased colour intensity perception
How Does MacuMira Treat Age-Related Macular Degeneration?
MacuMira offers hope to individuals suffering from dry AMD. It is an innovative treatment designed to address the underlying causes of the condition and potentially improve vision.
During the treatment, a headset directs an electrical microcurrent across the front of the eye while closed, which stimulates cells within the retina to improve visual function in patients with a compromised retina. This helps to slow down the degenerative process and improve visual acuity.
Patients who have undergone MacuMira treatment have reported positive outcomes and a potential halt in the progression of their AMD.
We understand that you may have further questions and would like to explore MacuMira in more detail. We encourage you to download our comprehensive MacuMira patient treatment booklet.
OUR MacuMira REVIEWS & TESTIMONIALS
I have had a positive experience with the Macumira treatment. I started with the four treatments in two weeks and have had a treatment every three months since that time. I have had improvement in my vision, especially in my weak eye, going from 20/200 to 20/70 and at the last treatment 20/60. I am always checking to see how I see in low-light situations, and that varies. The techs are very helpful and the doctors follow the progress of the patients. At the age of 74, I want to extend my quality of vision as much as possible.

“Maple Ridge eye care is awesome! The doctors there are very professional and personable. They walked me through everything they were testing on my eyes and so I felt very comfortable. They have a great selection of frames as well. The frames I got were fabulous and I’ve received so many compliments on them! All and all a great experience and I would highly recommend to anyone.”

“We had a great experience at Maple Ridge Eye Care! Dr. Matter was very knowledgable and personable. He took the time to answer all my questions and explain everything in terms I could understand. He was also great with my 3 year old son.”
Sharleen M.
“My wife and I have been going to Maple Ridge Eye Care for a number of years. We have since moved to Hope, BC and still continue to remain their patients. We have purchased many glasses from them over the years and have always received the best value for our dollar. Dr. Hurlburt and his staff have always provided the best and friendliest service, we would never trust anyone else with our eyes!”
Jeannette C.
“Although no longer a resident of Maple Ridge, I continue and will continue returning to Maple Ridge Eye Care for my eye care needs. The staff are the friendliest and most knowledgeable group I have had the pleasure of dealing with. The exams are very comprehensive and I feel confident that any and all eye sight issues (or related health issues) would be identified early and while they are treatable.”
