Compass RestorX System For AMD

Used at the Bochner Eye Institute since 2018, this groundbreaking approach modifies the corneal topography to redirect light away from the damaged fovea and toward functioning macular cells in the surrounding retina. The result is the potential for meaningful improvement in visual function for both dry and wet AMD patients.

A featured case study of an 81-year-old male with advanced dry AMD demonstrates significant postoperative improvement in visual acuity and daily activities. The procedure is painless, non-invasive, and requires no postoperative drops due to its non-disruptive nature.

Key takeaways highlight that strong candidates for the procedure often show better near vision improvement than distance vision on specific testing charts. Unlike traditional visual aids such as magnifiers or prisms, the Compass RestoRx laser creates a quadrafocal corneal pattern that redistributes light effectively — providing a novel optical pathway for enhanced vision.
