Age-related macular degeneration affects millions of people. Until recently, patients diagnosed with dry AMD had no FDA-approved treatment options, leaving them with few resources to address progressive vision loss. The Valeda Light Delivery System offers dry AMD patients an option that can potentially improve or maintain their visual acuity.
Loden Vision Centers combines advanced treatment options with exceptional medical expertise to help preserve your vision.
Discover Valeda photobiomodulation at Loden Vision Centers - the first FDA-approved light therapy proven to improve vision for dry AMD patients.
Our specialized team provides comprehensive care using the latest advancements in vision-preserving technology.
Valeda Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a non-invasive therapy that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular function and promote tissue repair within the retina. The LumiThera Valeda Light Delivery System delivers carefully calibrated light therapy directly to retinal cells affected by dry AMD, potentially slowing or even reversing some of the damage caused by this progressive condition.
Unlike treatments for wet AMD that require eye injections, Valeda therapy is completely non-invasive. Each treatment session is quick, comfortable, and administered by the highly trained specialists at Loden Vision Centers. Most importantly, the therapy requires no injections and no dilation, making it a more comfortable experience for patients seeking to preserve their vision.
Photobiomodulation works in several different ways to address the issues in dry AMD:
Enhanced Retinal Blood Flow
In dry AMD, blood flow to the back of the eye becomes restricted, which can cause vision to worsen over time. Studies have shown that Valeda light therapy appears to improve blood circulation in this area, helping deliver more oxygen and nutrients to the light-sensitive cells. This better blood flow helps nourish and protect the specialized cells in your eye that are essential for clear vision.
Supporting Eye Cell Health
One of the most encouraging benefits of Valeda therapy is how it helps support the health of cells in your eye. The light treatment helps protect the cells that detect light and the supporting cells that keep them healthy. By strengthening these cells, Valeda may help slow down or prevent further vision loss in people with dry AMD.
Noticeable Vision Improvements
After completing Valeda treatments, many patients report seeing better in various ways. This includes reading more easily, seeing objects more clearly, and distinguishing colors better. Each person's experience is unique, but Valeda provides hope through actual vision improvements where few options existed previously.
Prevention of Vision Loss
The primary goal of Valeda therapy is to prevent vision loss associated with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). By addressing the condition at the cellular level, Valeda treatment may help maintain your current level of vision and potentially improve your vision, allowing you to continue enjoying activities that require clear vision.
Non-Invasive Treatment
Unlike other eye procedures that may require injections or surgical procedures, Valeda therapy is completely non-invasive. There are no needles, no dilation requirements, and no surgical recovery period. You can immediately return to your normal activities after each quick session, making this an exceptionally convenient treatment option.
