Ellex Medical Lasers is an Australian based ophthalmic device company that is known for their innovative design, development and manufacturing of lasers used to treat a variety of eye conditions.

2RT™ Retinal Rejuvenation describes their treatment as a "painless non-invasive non-thermal laser treatment that has been found to actually help regenerate a natural healing mechanism to slow the process of degeneration from intermediate AMD to late-stage disease."

Unlike traditional thermal lasers, the Ellex 2RT™ - Retinal Rejuvenation Therapy does not damage surrounding sensitive retinal tissue.

"While this isn't a cure, and it is not suitable for every patient with early stage AMD, the impressive outcomes in reducing progression to late stage disease are important as this is the first time that a laser intervention has successfuly addressed AMD disease progression in more than 20 years of AMD laser research," explains Professor Robyn Guymner, LEAD Invesitgator.
