What is Valeda?
A New Approach to Treat Dry AMD without Injections or Surgery
Valeda is a breakthrough, non-invasive treatment for dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD) that uses photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy to rejuvenate and protect vision. This safe, painless treatment delivers specific light wavelengths to stimulate cellular energy production, reduce inflammation, and support retinal health.
Valeda offers new hope for those in the early to intermediate stages of dry AMD, helping preserve vision and maintain quality of life without the need for injections or surgery.

What is AMD?
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD)
- Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is a common condition that affects central vision. It usually first affects people in later life.
- AMD risk is linked to ageing, smoking, poor diet, UV exposure, high blood pressure, being overweight and having a family history of AMD.
- It does not cause total blindness, but it can make things like reading and recognising faces difficult due to changes in central vision.
- Vision loss in dry AMD progresses slowly and gradually over a number of years. Wet AMD presents more acutely and progresses much more rapidly.
Symptoms of AMD
AMD can make tasks such as reading, watching TV, driving or recognising faces difficult.
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) affects central vision, not the edges (peripheral vision). AMD can present in one eye or both.
The first symptom is often a blurred or distorted area in the centre of your vision. Left untreated this blurred area can worsen and grow in size.
Other symptoms include:
- Seeing straight lines as wavy or crooked.
- Being sensitive to bright light.
- In more advanced disease, seeing things that are not there (hallucinations) – caused by Charles Bonnet Syndrome.

As a retired orthopaedic surgeon, I approached my dry macular disease diagnosis with concern. The Valeda light therapy at Peter Ivins Eye Care has been truly transformative.

A family member was given an emergency appointment after developing an acute eye condition. We had a consultation with Mr Ivins himself - what a lovely gentleman, and very experienced. We're very delighted with the consultation and pleased there was a scanning machine onsite, that allowed Mr Ivins to arrive at a diagnosis. We shan't be going elsewhere in future.
