Valeda: A New Light to Fight AMD
Clinically proven light-based treatment designed to REDUCE and IMPROVE dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)
Are you worried about losing your sight due to AMD? You’re not alone, and there’s hope! If you’re living with dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD), the Valeda Light Delivery System may be a great option so you can keep enjoying life’s most meaningful moments. You only get one set of eyes, vision loss is permanent; prevention is priceless!
What is Valeda?
Valeda is the first FDA-authorized treatment that uses light therapy to help improve the health of eyes with AMD and, in many cases, improve vision! It uses low-level light at specific wavelengths, also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), to target the retina and improve the function of retinal cells. Healthy retinal cells are essential for maintaining good vision and decreasing your chances of developing wet AMD and needing eye injections!
What Are the Benefits of Valeda?
The Valeda Light Delivery System offers a safe, non-invasive treatment option that is designed to help you:
- MAINTAIN and IMPROVE your vision affected by dry AMD
- REDUCES the chance of converting to wet AMD and needing eye injections
- Only FDA-authorized treatment for dry AMD
- IMPROVE retinal cell health that supports long-term sight and slows visual decline
- Feel COMFORTABLE during treatment – no shots, no drops, no surgery, no downtime – with many patients experiencing improved vision
How Does It Work?
As we get older, the cells in the back of our eyes can get tired and stop clearing out waste (drusen) the way they should. When drusen builds up, it can lead to vision loss. The Valeda system uses special light to reach these cells and give them a boost. This light helps reduce inflammation, gives the cells more energy, and keeps them healthy so they can get back to doing their job.
Less drusen = BETTER VISION!

Can this cure my AMD?
Not exactly. Valeda does not cure AMD. Dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a progressive, chronic condition with no current cure. However, Valeda Light Delivery System is the first and only FDA-cleared photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy designed to help reduce and improve dry AMD.
What happens after my treatment session?
You may notice a brief “afterimage” or light spot right after treatment. This is called photostress and it usually goes away in just a few minutes. You’ll be able to go back to your day right after your visit, no downtime needed.
Be Proactive with Your Vision
At Boling Vision Center, we believe your sight is priceless, and protecting it starts with early detection. That’s why we chose to provide AMD (Age-Related Macular Degeneration) patients and their family members a free Amsler Grid tool. This simple, at-home test is designed to help you spot the earliest signs of AMD or track changes in your central vision between visits.
By checking your vision regularly, you can detect subtle shifts that may indicate the onset or progression of macular degeneration. Catching these changes early means faster treatment, better outcomes, and greater peace of mind.
Our goal is to empower the Michiana community to protect, preserve, and enhance the gift of sight, because every day of clear vision matters.
