Summary
This trial is testing a special laser treatment that uses low heat to help heal the eyes of patients with Macular Telangiectasia Type 2. The goal is to see if this gentle laser can improve their condition without causing damage. Low level laser therapy (LLLT) is a form of phototherapy that has been used successfully to induce wound healing in nonhealing defects and other types of wounds.
