Dry AMD is a gradual deterioration of the macula where deposits called Drusen form over the central part of the retina (macula) responsible for sharp, central vision. As retinal cells in the macula die off and are not renewed, vision loss occurs. Dry AMD is the most common form of AMD and affects millions of people worldwide. In Singapore, the incidence of dry AMD is increasing every year because of the ageing population. At the present moment, no other treatments for dry AMD are available in Singapore.
The Valeda LDS is a breakthrough treatment for dry AMD.
Here is how it works:
The Valeda LDS utilizes three specific wavelengths of light (590 nm, 660 nm, and 850 nm) to stimulate the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells at the back of the eye - macula. These RPE cells play a crucial role in maintaining retinal and macula health. These cells remove waste products present in Drusen and by stimulating these cells to work better, they will more effectively remove these deposits from the central retina and macula.
The light energy penetrates the RPE cells, enhancing their metabolic function at the mitochondrial level. This activation helps keep the RPE cells healthy and functioning optimally.
The Valeda LDS aims to slow the progression of dry AMD by promoting cellular health. Early results from the LIGHTSITE III clinical trial demonstrated significant vision improvement in eyes treated with the Valeda LDS compared to Sham treatment. Approximately 55% of treated eyes experienced a notable increase in vision by at least 5 letters on the eye chart.
Unlike the Sham group that did not receive real treatment, eyes treated with the Valeda LDS did not show an increase in Drusen which is a common sign of dry AMD and sometimes the Valeda LDS even decreased the Drusen. This finding underscores the potential benefits of photobiomodulation with the Valeda LDS.
The Valeda LDS represents hope for patients affected by dry AMD.
