A New Treatment Option for
Dry Macular Degeneration

Valeda® Photobiomodulation Therapy

Alamance Eye Center is pleased to offer Valeda® Light Therapy, an innovative, non-invasive treatment option for certain patients with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

Valeda uses specific wavelengths of light, called photobiomodulation (PBM), to stimulate activity within retinal cells. The goal of treatment is to support retinal function and help improve visual acuity in appropriately selected patients with dry AMD.

What is Valeda treatment like?

Valeda treatment is:

• Non-invasive

• Painless

• Performed right in our office

• Completed without injections or surgery

• Typically administered several times per week over a short treatment course

During treatment, you simply sit comfortably at the Valeda device while carefully controlled wavelengths of light are delivered to the eye.

Who may be a candidate?

Valeda is designed for certain patients with dry age-related macular degeneration.

Not every patient with macular degeneration will qualify. Your eye doctor will evaluate the type and severity of your AMD, your vision, and the health of your retina to determine whether Valeda may be appropriate for you.

What can Valeda do?

Clinical studies demonstrated improvement in visual acuity in appropriately selected patients with dry AMD. Results vary from person to person, and treatment cannot restore vision that has already been permanently lost.

Valeda is not intended to treat wet macular degeneration.

A different approach to dry AMD

For many years, management of dry AMD has focused primarily on monitoring, nutrition, lifestyle changes, and AREDS2 vitamins when appropriate.

Valeda gives qualifying patients another option — one designed to actively treat certain forms of dry AMD using light-based therapy.
