👏 [LumiThera, Inc.](https://www.linkedin.com/company/lumithera-inc./) has received FDA authorization for its Valeda® Light Delivery System, marking a significant advancement in the treatment of dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD), a leading cause of vision loss in older adults. Valeda is the first authorized therapy for this condition and has shown to improve best corrected visual acuity over 24 months in clinical trials. The device utilises Photobiomodulation to potentially preserve retinal anatomy and reduce progression to geographic atrophy. This non-invasive treatment offers hope for early intervention in dry AMD patients.
