Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is one of the leading causes of vision loss, affecting millions of people worldwide. While treatments for wet AMD exist, options for dry AMD have been limited—until now. The Valeda Light Delivery System offers a groundbreaking approach to managing dry AMD using photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, providing patients with a non-invasive treatment that may help improve visual function and slow disease progression.
What Is Valeda Light Therapy?
Valeda is an FDA-approved therapy designed to stimulate cellular activity in the retina through specific wavelengths of light. It works by targeting mitochondrial function, reducing oxidative stress, and promoting cell survival in the retina. This innovative therapy uses red, yellow, and infrared light to penetrate retinal cells, enhancing their ability to function effectively despite damage caused by AMD.
How Does Valeda Work?
- Boosts Cellular Energy: The treatment increases ATP production, which fuels retinal cells and helps them perform optimally.
- Reduces Inflammation: By minimizing oxidative stress, Valeda may slow AMD progression and protect vision.
- Enhances Visual Function: Some patients experience improved contrast sensitivity and overall visual performance after undergoing the therapy.
What to Expect During Treatment
One of the biggest advantages of Valeda therapy is that it is non-invasive and painless. The treatment process includes:
- Three sessions per week for three weeks (a total of nine treatments).
- Each session lasting only a few minutes per eye.
- A comfortable experience with no downtime, allowing patients to resume daily activities immediately after treatment.
Is Valeda Right for You?
Valeda therapy is designed for patients with dry AMD who are looking for new ways to manage their condition. While it does not cure AMD, studies suggest that it may help slow progression and improve certain aspects of vision. If you or a loved one are experiencing vision loss due to dry AMD, schedule a consultation with Tyson Eye to see if Valeda Light Therapy is a good option for you.
