U.S. Indications for Use
The Valeda Light Delivery System is intended to provide improved visual acuity in
patients with best-corrected visual acuity of 20/32 through 20/70 and who have dry
age-related macular degeneration (AMD) characterized by:
The presence of at least 3 medium drusen (> 63 μm and ≤ 125 μm in diameter), or large
drusen (> 125 μm in diameter), or non-central geographic atrophy, AND
The absence of neovascular maculopathy or central-involving geographic atrophy
After about two years, the Valeda Light Delivery System treatment provides improved
mean visual acuity of approximately one line of visual acuity (ETDRS) compared to
those not receiving the treatment.
Indications for Use outside the U.S.*
The indicated use is for treatment of ocular damage and disease using
photobiomodulation, including inhibition of inflammatory mediators, edema or drusen
deposition, improvement of wound healing following ocular trauma or surgery, and
increase in visual acuity and contrast sensitivity in patients with degenerative diseases
such as dry age-related macular degeneration.
