Understanding Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a condition that affects the macula, a small central area of the retina responsible for sharp, central vision. The retina, located at the back of the eye, consists of several layers, including:
- The choroid: This layer supplies blood to the retina through a network of blood vessels that deliver oxygen and nutrients essential for the health and function of retinal cells.
- The pigment epithelium (RPE): This layer supports the retinal cells by providing nourishment and maintaining the integrity of the photoreceptors (rods and cones) which convert light into electrical signals that the brain interprets as visual images. The RPE also plays a critical role in removing waste products generated by these cells.
In AMD, damage primarily occurs in the macula, leading to deterioration of central vision while peripheral vision typically remains intact. The disease progresses in two forms:
- Dry AMD: Characterized by the gradual thinning of the macula and the accumulation of drusen (tiny yellow deposits) beneath the retina. This form progresses slowly and is more common.
- Wet AMD: Marked by abnormal blood vessel growth beneath the retina, which can leak fluid or blood, leading to rapid and severe vision loss. This form is less common but more severe.
What goes wrong in Macular Degeneration (AMD)?
In AMD, there are several pathological changes that disrupt the normal function of the macula, leading to vision loss. These changes can include:
- Accumulation of Drusen: Small yellow deposits known as drusen build up between the retina and the underlying choroid. The presence of drusen can interfere with the nutrient and waste exchange, contributing to the deterioration of retinal cells.
- Degeneration of the Retinal Pigment Epithelium (RPE): The RPE layer, which supports and nourishes the photoreceptors, starts to break down. This degeneration leads to the loss of photoreceptors and, consequently, the loss of central vision.
- Abnormal Blood Vessel Growth (Wet AMD): In wet AMD, abnormal blood vessels grow under the retina and macula, a process known as choroidal neovascularization (CNV). These vessels are fragile and can leak fluid or blood, causing rapid and severe damage to the macula.
- Inflammatory Response: Similar to RP, an inflammatory response may play a role in AMD. Inflammation can exacerbate the breakdown of the RPE and the formation of drusen, accelerating the progression of the disease.
These pathological processes disrupt the delicate balance and function of the macula, leading to the characteristic symptoms of AMD, such as blurred or distorted central vision and difficulty recognizing faces or reading.
Visual Symptoms caused by Macular Degeneration
Progressively worsening symptoms can include:
Blurred or Distorted Central Vision
Straight lines may appear wavy or bent, and objects may seem distorted.
Dark or Empty Areas in the Center of Vision
A dark, blurry, or empty spot (scotoma) appears in the center of your visual field.
Difficulty Adjusting to Low Light Levels
Increased difficulty adapting to dim lighting or moving from a bright to a dark environment
Decreased Intensity or Brightness of Colors
Colors may appear less vivid or more washed out.
Traditional Beliefs vs. Our Approach
Conventional medicine believes that AMD is primarily caused by genetic factors, aging, and lifestyle choices. The main issues are the buildup of drusen (small yellow deposits) and the deterioration of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE). In the case of wet AMD, abnormal blood vessel growth under the retina is a major problem.
Based on our experience, we have observed that other factors might also play a significant role in AMD. Specifically: Inflammation and Blood Supply: We believe that inflammation in the blood vessels supplying the retina, particularly the choroid, can affect AMD. When these vessels are inflamed or not functioning properly, they may not provide sufficient nutrients and oxygen to the retina, contributing to the disease’s progression.
Liver Function: We’ve noticed a potential link between liver health and vision in AMD patients. This observation aligns with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), which suggests that the liver has a crucial role in maintaining healthy vision. By improving liver function, we believe there may be positive effects on eye health and a potential slowing of AMD progression.
By combining these insights with conventional medical knowledge, we strive to offer a more holistic approach to managing macular degeneration, aiming to address all possible contributing factors for better patient outcomes.
Macular Degeneration. We can help.
Our Vision Enhancement Therapy offers a promising option for managing Macular Degeneration (AMD). However, the degree of visual improvement depends on several key factors:
- Stage of AMD: The severity of macular damage, whether dry or wet AMD, significantly influences potential outcomes.
- Condition of the Macula: The extent of remaining healthy macular tissue can impact how much improvement you might experience.
- Duration of Symptoms: Early intervention often results in more favorable results, as addressing the condition sooner can help preserve vision.
- Presence of Complications: Existing structural changes or additional eye conditions can affect the effectiveness of treatment.
At our clinic, we thoroughly assess your medical history to evaluate these factors. During your consultation, we will discuss the expected range of vision improvement based on your individual situation.
While results can vary from person to person, many patients with advanced AMD have reported positive changes with our therapy. Additionally, benefits are often stable, and ongoing treatments may further enhance progress.

What Patients Are Saying
Within a few days my vision was back to my normal and I was able to drive.
Retinitis Pigmentosa
“I have been treating with Dr. Campbell for almost 2 years now for RP. When I first visited Dr. Campbell, my had worsened to the point of unable to drive (day or night), blurred vision and unable to see distance and had darkened vision. After my first treatment, by the time I left Dr. Campbell’s office, the blurriness, darkness was gone and I was able to see far distance. Within a few days my vision was back to my normal and I was able to drive. Continuing Dr. Campbell’s herbs and eye drops I have been doing very well with maintaining my vision.
Since I was going well and able to see when I ran out of the herb and eye drops I stopped talking them. Unfortunately, that was the worst thing I could have done. Unfortunately, my vision greatly decreased. I had lost my central vision, my vision was hazy and gray. I wasn’t able to see any writing on a piece of paper and my colors were off. I contacted Dr Campbell for another treatment Immediately I saw results I was able to see without a haze over my vision, I could see faces clearly. In a month or so my central vision came back! I’m able to see the digital clock on my stove again!!
I learned my lesson, keep up with my daily regimen of herbs and eye drops if I was to keep my vision. I am very grateful and thankful that I found Dr. Campbell who actually treats RP and doesn’t shut the door on you saying “Sorry, there is no treatment for this disease”. Dr. Campbell is proof that there is treatment, and I know first hand it works!
Dr, Campbell is a true Blessing!”

After the first session, I was able to see the colors red, pink, orange, white and black.
Retinitis Pigmentosa
“I am a 56-year-old woman with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). I have been advised that RP is a degenerative retinal disease, and that a person who has RP will eventually lose all vision and go blind.
At the age of 18, I had a retinal detachment in the left eye. After surgery in that eye, my vision never returned. I have only light perception in the left eye. My vision in the right eye was stable throughout the years until the age of 43. My peripheral vision was slowly degrading and all color vision was gone. I was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa and have seen only black and white for the past 13 years.
Dr. Campbell began treating me on December 9, 2015. After the first session, I was able to see the colors red, pink, orange, white and black. I was so excited and amazed. Also, I saw most of the letters, numbers and color symbols on a deck of playing cards.
On the second day of treatment I slowly noticed the creamy yellow tone of the exam room wall. The colors seemed to slowly come through. I started seeing violet, dark blue and even shiny silver.
When I returned home, I decided to test my color vision. I saw the green, orange, red and even gold with silver sparkles on the Christmas balls. Also, when I looked at the sky I asked my husband if it was a grey blue. He confirmed it. From my apartment balcony I noticed the boats docked in the marina. They were very blurry, but I could make out the direction they were facing. At night, I saw part of the bridge, lights and quick flashes of cars crossing.
I expect to continue treatment with Dr. Campbell and eventually hope to have functional and maybe independent mobility.”
