Vision Protection Therapy
A Revolutionary Safe & Effective Vision Treatment
The best of both worlds.
Vision Protection Therapy is a patented, scientifically designed treatment program of therapeutic Laser Retinal Activation® employing an advanced laser technology called "SDM", developed by Vision Protection Institutes founder, Jeffrey K Luttrull, MD.
Vision Protection Therapy is a Scientific Approach to Prevention.
Laser Technology
The laser technology, SDM, uses a special retinal laser system approved by the FDA for treatment of both wet and dry AMD and glaucoma to safely revitalize the retina, healing and restoring it safely.
How does it work?
Vision Protection Therapy activates the body’s own system for restoration and repair - the immune system - with proprietary Safe-Pulse Retinal Activation™ (SAPRA) technology utilizing the Luttrull Laser Protocol (LLP)™. Like most treatments, it doesn’t last forever. But because of the unparalleled safety of Vision Protection Therapy, it can be repeated whenever necessary to keep the retina healthy. SAFE-PULSE™ retinal activation is safe and effective for your AMD.
Data Driven
Vision Protection Therapy is data driven and has over 20 years of clinical and scientific research. This has included tens of thousands of treatments for AMD and other eye disorders. Based on this extensive and scientifically published experience found only at the Vision Protection Institutes, we know that regular, periodic treatment is needed to obtain the best results.
Other Diseases Addressed by Vision Protection Therapy

Keeping your retina as healthy and “young” as possible is key to the extraordinary results of Vision Protection Therapy. Choosing Vision Protection Therapy is your commitment to keeping the best vision possible, for as long as possible.
Works by making your eye healthier naturally.
All of the most important causes of irreversible vision loss are what we call “chronic progressive retinopathies”. Because the retina is the visual sensor of the nervous system, these diseases, like AMD, are all called “neurodegenerations”. This means that they have many important things in common, even though the causes may be different.
Vision Protection Therapy addresses what these diseases have in common, to stop, slow or reverse disease progression and reduce the risks of vision loss.
These include:

Optic Atrophy
Recent studies show that Vision Protection Therapy can improve visual acuity, visual fields, and the optic nerve in some eyes with optic neuritis and optic atrophy due to diseases like anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (AION) and multiple sclerosis.
Treatment Every 3 Months.
The basic ingredient of Vision Protection Therapy is a revolutionary approach to laser treatment called SDM™, developed by the founders of the Vision Protection Institutes.
Published studies and many years of clinical experience with AMD have shown that SDM™ results in immediate improvement in the health and function of the retina; but by 6-9 months this effect has largely worn off. Therefore, to maximize the treatment benefits and keep it from wearing off, we “split the difference”, by treating every 3 months. This maintains and optimizes the treatment benefits. By continuing SDM™ treatment every three months for AMD, we keep your retina as healthy as possible. This is the Vision Protection Therapy program.
Benefits You Can Expect From Vision Protection Therapy
- Some people note increased clarity, brightness and sharpness of their vision right after Vision Protection treatment, like "high-definition".
- Low light vision usually improves.
- Reading, vision indoors, and driving at night may become easier.
- Over time, symptoms such as distortion and wavy lines in your vision may go away.
- Dark areas in your vision may disappear or become smaller and lighter and less noticeable.
- Many people notice they can start reading the ticker-tape at the bottom of the TV screen again.
- Some patients find that they no longer need their glasses, for distance or even for reading.
Studies show that without Vision Protection Therapy, vision gets steadily worse, but with Vision Protection Therapy, vision gradually improves. But the main effect and main goal of Vision Protection Therapy is to reduce your risk of vision loss from AMD by preventing wet AMD.
