Ellex Retinal Regeneration Therapy (Ellex 2RT™) is a breakthrough laser therapy which has the potential to positively influence the lives of millions of people suffering from retinal disease.
Ellex 2RT™ represents the newest in a series of advancements in retinal treatment. It is a non-thermal, nanosecond laser therapy that stimulates a natural, biological healing response in the eye to treat a range of degenerative retinal diseases. Ellex 2RT™ is currently undergoing clinical trial for the treatment of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and Diabetic Retinopathy — two of the most common causes of blindness and vision impairment in the developed world.

IRV ARONS' JOURNAL
Irving Arons spent more than 30 years as a consultant to the ophthalmology industry, and more than 20 years as a medical laser industry consultant before retiring in 2005. Since then, he has continued to follow and comment on notable industry research, events and other topics in his blog, “Irv Aron’s Journal.” Late in 2007, he included a lengthy entry about 2RT research, writing, in part, “In looking further into this technique, I became convinced that, although it was very early in its development, it held the potential to become an important treatment in the armamentarium of retinal physicians."
