The Valeda treatment was approved in Europe in 2019. Since then, more than 500,000 treatments have been performed with much success and no significant side effects.
The treatment is non-invasive, painless and uses several wavelengths of light to improve the health of the macula.
The First in the U.S.
Valeda Light Therapy for Macular Degeneration
In December of 2024, Caplan Eye Clinic became the very first eye center in the United States to receive delivery of the FDA approved Valeda Light Therapy. Shortly thereafter, Dr. Chad Caplan became the very first physician in the United States to perform Valeda light therapy.
Caplan Eye Clinic, with Dr. Daniel Caplan as the Principal Investigator, was the only eye center in Louisiana and one of only 11 eye centers in the U.S. to participate in an FDA Clinical Trial of the Valeda Light Therapy.
The Valeda treatment is for Dry Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD).
