What is Valeda™ Light Therapy?

Valeda™ Light Therapy is the first and only FDA-authorized light-based treatment for patients with mild to moderate dry AMD.
Using precise wavelengths of light delivered in a comfortable office setting, Valeda is designed to stimulate cellular function within the retina and support retinal health.

  • Non-invasive - no needles, no surgery

  • Painless and performed in-office

  • No downtime required – resume normal activities immediately

  • Proactive approach – not just watchful waiting

Dry AMD Treatment Has Changed

For years, a dry AMD diagnosis meant a cycle of monitoring with few proactive options. Valeda™ changed that.

While monitoring, regular visits, and vitamin supplements remain important, Valeda now offers a new proactive treatment approach for eligible patients.

What Results Can Patients Expect?

Valeda is not a cure for macular degeneration and results vary from patient to patient.

The goal of treatment is to:

  • slow progression of dry AMD
  • support retinal function
  • potentially improve aspects of visual performance in some patients

Many patients report improvements in:

  • contrast sensitivity
  • reading ability
  • visual clarity
  • overall quality of vision

Early intervention is important — ask our team if you may be a candidate.

A Strong Safety Profile

One of the most important advantages of Valeda™ Light Therapy is its favorable safety profile.

Treatments are performed comfortably in the office, and patients resume normal activity immediately afterward.

Clinical studies have shown:

  • No Injections

    Treatment is delivered entirely through calibrated light — no needles or injections of any kind.

  • No Retinal Surgery

    Completely non-invasive — no incisions, no surgical preparation, no anesthesia required.

  • Clean Trial Record

    No known treatment-related ocular complications were observed across clinical trial participants.
