Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) uses microamperage current to increase energy production in cells and specific frequencies to change cellular function with electromagnetic signaling. FSM has been reported to improve sight in patients suffering from macular degeneration. While there have been no controlled trials, the anecdotes from clinicians suggest that the treatment is helpful in improving visual acuity and slowing progression of the condition. There are no known risks and no adverse reactions have been reported but patients seeking treatment should be aware that this is a new treatment for this condition and the potential risks are unknown.

There are four FSM practitioners in the US who treat the eye with FSM for macular degeneration and other conditions.

Two optometrists in Richfield, UT: Richard Luekenga, OD and Dave Graff, OD can be reached at (435) 896-3142
