"RED" light therapy

Is this a 9-session
treatment for dry eye AMD? I just finished a series of 9 treatments, and I think it made my vision worse....

  1. Hi . That must be incredibly disappointing. I'm not personally familiar with the course of treatment, but several in the community have tried red light therapy, using the Valeda system. Here is a forum post in which a member notes improvement after nine sessions: https://maculardegeneration.net/forums/valeda-light-therapy. Hopefully, others will chim in with their own experiences. What has your doctor said?

  2. Thanks for the info, Lori. I don't see my doc again until the 18th. I need to find out what type of machine they used in this therapy. I understand that 2-4 "jewels" is max. I think the young man who administered the treatment (not my doc) used higher! My right eye was never like it is now!!
