A typical Valeda Light Therapy treatment course involves nine sessions spread over 3-4 weeks, with three sessions per week. Each session lasts about four minutes.

Clinical trials have shown that participants experienced significant vision improvements that could last up to 24 months, particularly for those in early or intermediate stages of dry AMD. It's important to note that this treatment may be most beneficial for people with intermediate AMD. Those with more advanced stages of AMD, such as central geographic atrophy or wet AMD, might not experience the same level of benefits.

Be sure to maintain regular follow-up appointments with your eye care professional to monitor your progress and response to the treatment.
