What Is Valeda?
Valeda is a breakthrough technology that uses photobiomodulation (PBM)—a safe, gentle form of light therapy—to target compromised cells in the retina. By delivering specific wavelengths of light, Valeda helps boost mitochondrial function (the “powerhouse” of the cell), reduce oxidative stress, and improve energy production in retinal cells.
This process supports better visual performance and may help protect against further damage caused by dry AMD.
