Valeda Light Delivery System Treatment
The Valeda Light delivery system is the first approved treatment for Dry Age-related Macular Degeneration Make An Appointment TodayHave you been diagnosed with early to mid-stage dry age-related Macular Degeneration (AMD) ?
Concerned about maintaining your independence—whether it’s driving, working, or enjoying your retirement? Burman and Zuckerbrod is excited to introduce the first approved Light Delivery treatment, Photobiomodulation, for Dry AMD.
Dry AMD (Age-related Macular Degeneration) can lead to the deterioration or death of retinal cells, causing vision loss. Valeda uses targeted light wavelengths to stimulate energy production in these cells, promoting healthier retinal function. Healthy retinal cells are crucial for maintaining good vision.
While there’s no cure for dry AMD, early treatment can help. Once retinal cells are lost, a permanent scar called geographic atrophy forms, leading to irreversible vision loss. Detecting dry AMD early is key. With Valeda, your doctor can begin managing retinal health and vision loss sooner, potentially improving vision and preserving long-term benefits.
Symptoms of dry AMD may include:
- Blurry or fuzzy vision
- Straight lines appear wavy or bent
- Reduced intensity/brightness of colors
- Trouble adapting to low light
- Loss of central vision, which is necessary for driving, reading, recognizing faces and perorming close-up work
Contact us today to schedule your appointment with one of our board-certified surgeons to see if you are a candidate for the Valeda Light Delivery System.
