Benefits of Valeda Photobiomodulation

Prevent Blindness due to Dry Macular Degeneration.

Photobiomodulation (PBM) is a promising therapy for dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular function and promote tissue repair. While research is ongoing, here are the key benefits PBM may offer for dry AMD:

Clinical Evidence

Early trials studies, suggest PBM can provide benefits for people with early-to-intermediate dry AMD.
The LumiThera Valeda Light Delivery System has been authorized in some regions for treating dry AMD.

Improves Retinal Blood Flow

Studies suggest PBM may enhance choroidal circulation, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the retina.
This could help in maintaining retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) function, which is essential for vision.

Supports Cellular Repair and Regeneration

PBM has been shown to promote photoreceptor survival and improve RPE function, possibly preventing further vision loss.

Improvement in Vision

Some clinical trials report improvements in contrast sensitivity, visual acuity, and color vision, although results vary.

What Our Patients Say

Exceptional. Friendly receptionists. Excellent medical assistants who are friendly and thorough. Had cataract surgery which I had dreaded, but the doctors and nurses were calming; thoughtful and professional. The surgery was fast and I now need no glasses after 76 years ! Do need readers! My family has been going to the Kirk Eye Center for 43 plus years, and I can’t say I ever had a bad experience…can’t say that about many other places.

I Love and appreciate the staff that was able to get me in the next day to be seen. When I got to their office all of the staff was very kind. There was no wait I was seen right away. Dr Kirk was very kind and knowledgeable. I would recommend this place to everyone.
