What Is The Treatment Procedure?
Baseline Consultation.
​
As a matter of interest to you as a patient we would like to conduct a full baseline assessment. This is a full dilated eye examination with an OCT scan to get the most up to date results on where your eye health is at present.
​
Once this assessment is complete we can then discuss whether Valeda Light Therapy is the correct route for you.

This also allows us to compare your future results after you have had the treatment. Our aim is to provide you with every opportunity to get the best outcomes.
