Have you heard of Valeda light therapy for macular degeneration?
I have read about new therapy using a light device that is showing good results for intermediate macular degeneration. Has anyone else heard of this? Do they use it at mayo clinic? Here is a link. https://www.myamdteam.com/resources/vision-saving-device-for-dry-amd-lands-fda-authorization

There is a thread on this site about light therapy for AMD, link below. Also, if you search for Photobiomodulation or photomodulation (or photo modulation), there are some other discussions about it.

2 ReactionsI have JAK2/PV and take HU. I also have MD but it is not advanced and I’ve gone from seeing my opthamologist twice annually to just once a year. I saw her yesterday and she recommended a new therapy phtobiomodulation which I understand uses laser and red light. And, she also wanted me to start taking MaculaPM, a new supplement for MD.
She knows I have PV and take HU and said taking the MaculaPM isn’t a problem but when I googled it, it seemed to be contraindicated if you are on a chemo drug. And, despite knowing some people on Connect use red light therapy and love it, I have also read it may be contraindicated for certain cancers.
So, and realizing a little knowledge/google can be a dangerous thing and while I wait for some input from my hematologist, Im wondering if anyone on Connect who has PV and is taking HU has any experience with either thr supplement or photobiomodukation?
Thanks.
