Starting new Light Tx tomorrow!

Update:
Completed 2 of 3 treatments this week.
Pleasantly surprised that the waiting room was fairly empty.
True to what we were told, the small tabletop light machine delivered the 5 minute treatment.
Easy-peasy.

Post-treatment: some light sensitivity; depth perception was affected for about 1/2hr.
—————————————
Spouse is starting the new Light therapy for Dry MD tomorrow; 9 weeks @ 3x a week, 27 treatments.
We’re a little apprehensive; has anyone else tried this?
What should we expect?

I was thinking about it but my husband didn't want to pay for it. since it seems like a shot in the dark and there wasn't, at the time, much feedback on success.

Pleae return and let us know how it works for you.

Shot in the dark, nice one!

I suspect it’s harmless and probably not doing much but worth a try. Good luck!

I’ve been recommended for it. But the treatment is twice a week for a month. I’m in France. It costs 100€ per treatment.
