Valeda Light Delivery System for Dry AMD

At Lehigh Eye Specialists, we’re proud to offer the revolutionary Valeda Light Delivery System – a groundbreaking, FDA-authorized treatment that represents a new frontier in caring for patients with dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD).

About Macular Degeneration
 

The First Non-Invasive Treatment to Actually Improve Vision in Dry AMD

For years, patients with dry AMD had limited treatment options. Now, the Valeda system offers real hope. This innovative photobiomodulation therapy is the first and only FDA-authorized treatment specifically designed to improve vision in patients with dry macular degeneration.

How It Works

How Valeda Works: Precision Light Therapy

The Valeda Light Delivery System uses carefully calibrated wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular activity in the retina. This gentle, non-invasive treatment:

  • Energizes retinal cells by stimulating mitochondrial activity in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE)
  • Supports healthy cellular metabolism to help preserve existing vision
  • Demonstrates disease-modifying benefits backed by clinical research
  • Requires no needles, injections, or surgery – completely painless and comfortable
