🌟 New Hope for Dry Macular Degeneration
Introducing Photobiomodulation (PBM) Therapy at Paul Vision Institute
If you’ve been told there’s nothing more that can be done… think again.
Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a breakthrough light-based therapy now available for patients with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD)—and it’s helping people see better, stay independent, and take control of their vision.
👁️ What Is PBM Therapy?
PBM is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses precise wavelengths of light—yellow, red, and near-infrared—to energize the cells in your retina, reduce inflammation, and slow the progression of dry AMD.
Think of it as a reboot for your eyes, helping damaged cells heal and function better.
✅ Clinically Proven Benefits
In recent clinical trials, patients treated with PBM therapy experienced:
✔️ Improved visual acuity (seeing more lines on the eye chart)
✔️ Reduced drusen deposits, which cause macular damage
✔️ Slower progression of geographic atrophy (vision loss)
And the best part? Treatment is quick, painless, and performed right here in our office.
💡 What to Expect
No shots. No surgery. No downtime.
9 quick treatment sessions over 3–5 weeks
Maintenance sessions every 4 months
Safe and comfortable
👨⚕️ Is PBM Right for You?
PBM therapy may be the perfect option if:
You’ve been diagnosed with dry AMD
You still have usable central vision
You want to take action now before further vision loss
If you have wet AMD or advanced central vision loss, PBM is not recommended—but we have other options to help.

This Tuesday and Wednesday, the Paul Vision Institute team had the absolute privilege of taking part in the Indo Jax Visually Impaired Surf Charity event — and what an unforgettable experience it was! 🌊💙 From swimming alongside the bravest little surfers to helping them ride some truly wicked waves, every moment was filled with joy, inspiration, and pure stoke.
Watching these incredible kiddos light up with confidence and laughter as they conquered the ocean was nothing short of magical. Their strength, spirit, and fearlessness reminded us all of the power of inclusion, positivity, and adventure.
Huge shoutout to Indo Jax Surf Charities for creating such a powerful platform where kids of all abilities can shine. We’re so grateful to have been part of this beautiful community event — and we’re already counting down the days until next year! 🏄♂️☀️🌴

A vision insurance policy is not the same as health insurance. Regular health insurance plans protect you against financial losses due to unexpected eye injuries or disease. Vision insurance, on the other hand, is a wellness benefit designed to provide routine eye care, prescription eyewear and other vision-related services at a reduced cost.
Because we provide both medical and routine eye care, we accept a number of insurance plans to help cover the cost depending on your individual needs. Here are just some of the plans that we accept:
Medical Plans
Blue Cross Blue Shield
Medicare
Cigna
Blue Medicare
Humana
Tricare
United HealthCare
PHCS
MultiPlan
Beech Street
PHCS Savility
HealthEOS
ValuePoint
Vision Plans
We accept out of network benefits from many of the leading insurance companies. Paul Vision Institute takes most major vision insurance plans as an out-of-network provider. Our office can check your eye insurance plan to see what savings you’re eligible for and we’ll handle the paperwork too. We can bill your insurance for your out of network benefits, saving you the hassle of having to submit your own claim. In the end this saves you money! Check out the list below and find your plan. Make sure to talk to your Paul Vision Institute associate to see just what your vision insurance plan or FSA covers in-office.
VSP
EyeMed
Cigna
Aetna
Blue View
Superior
Spectera
Davis
MES Vision
