all macular degeneration cases. It is a progressive disease and the leading cause of vision loss in people over the age of 65. Historically, there was no cure for the condition. Patients were largely told to &#8216;watch and wait&#8217; while managing the disease through preventative habits, such as taking AREDS2 supplements, eating green leafy vegetables, and wearing sunglasses outdoors to protect their eyes.\n\nNow, there is hope. Valeda light therapy is a revolutionary, first-of-its-kind treatment authorized by the FDA and proven to actually improve vision in patients with dry macular degeneration.\n<h3 style=\"color:#fff;\">How Does the Valeda Light Delivery System Work?<\/h3>\nThe system uses photobiomodulation (PBM), delivering specific wavelengths of low-level light therapy to your eyes. This light stimulates energy production within the eye, which improves overall cellular health. Over time, retinal imaging even shows improvements when your eyes are scanned for drusen (the protein deposits associated with dry AMD).\n\n<strong>&#8220;Healthy retinal cells are essential for maintaining good vision.
