He immigrated to Canada and obtained his Canadian Medical License by examination in 1983. He worked as a general physician in several provinces providing care to underserviced remote communities.
Dr. Merry along with Dr. Dotson have pioneered the use of PBM clinically in North America. They have designed, instigated and published clinical trial results showing improvement of vision and disease regression in patients with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
They have co-founded two companies, one has treated patients clinically in Canada – the first and only PBM treatment center for AMD in North America. The other company has completed major clinical trials in Europe and the North America for patients with AMD, the positive results have led to European approval and FDA approval is expected very soon. Dr. Merry has retired from clinical practice but is excited and committed to providing a safe, effective, accessible and affordable PBM device for home use – the ARUNALIGHT is now
available.
