Fab Eye Care is proud to announce we are now providing Valeda® Light Delivery System treatments for dry age-related macular degeneration (AMD). This advanced, FDA-authorized treatment is now available to patients at our Phoenixville and Malvern offices providing coverage for populations throughout Chester County and nearby Montgomery County.

Dry AMD is the most common form of macular degeneration and a leading cause of central vision loss in adults over age 50. Until recently, treatment options were limited to monitoring and nutritional supplements. Valeda represents a major advancement by offering a non-invasive, light-based treatment designed to support retinal health and visual function.

What Is Valeda Treatment?

Valeda is the first FDA-authorized treatment specifically for dry AMD that uses photobiomodulation (PBM). This technology delivers precise light to the retina, improving cellular energy production and reduce oxidative stress in retinal cells.

Valeda treatment is:

• Non-invasive
• Painless
• Performed in our offices
• Designed for patients with early to intermediate AMD

Patients from Malvern, Phoenixville, West Chester, Collegeville, Paoli, and surrounding areas can now access this innovative treatment close to home at Fab Eye Care.

Providing Valeda Treatments in Phoenixville and Malvern, PA

We proudly serve Chester and Montgomery county and the surrounding communities. By offering Valeda locally, Fab Eye Care allows patients to receive cutting-edge dry AMD treatment without the need for long-distance travel.

How Valeda Works

Valeda uses a combination of yellow, red, and near-infrared light to stimulate the mitochondria within retinal cells. In dry AMD, these cells gradually lose efficiency, contributing to vision decline.

By enhancing cellular function, Valeda aims to:

• Support healthier retinal tissue
• Slow the progression of dry AMD
• Improve visual performance in some patients

Treatment consists of a series of short sessions over several weeks, followed by maintenance therapy as recommended by your eye care provider.

We proudly serve Chester and Montgomery county and the surrounding communities. By offering Valeda locally, Fab Eye Care allows patients to receive cutting-edge dry AMD treatment without the need for long-distance travel.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Valeda?

Valeda may be a good option if you:

• Have been diagnosed with early or intermediate dry AMD
• Retain functional central vision
• Want a non-invasive treatment option
• Prefer proactive vision care

A comprehensive eye exam at Fab Eye Care is required to determine if Valeda is appropriate for you.

Introduction

Many of our patients at Fab Eye get a red eye and wonder, am I getting pink eye? We are here to help and explain what could be going on. People often refer to an acute red eye as “pink eye”. What is pink eye? For the most part pink eye is a common cause of urgent ophthalmic visits and encompasses a range of conditions affecting the conjunctiva. While often self-limiting, certain etiologies require prompt diagnosis and intervention to prevent complications and also reduce transmission. As a consequence patients in the Philadelphia suburban area, including Malvern, Paoli, Exton, West Chester, and Phoenixville, frequently present to urgent eye care for this condition in our office.

Etiologic Categories for Pink Eye

1. Viral
   • Most commonly caused by adenovirus serotypes.
   • Transmission is highly contagious via direct contact or fomites.
   • Frequently associated with upper respiratory tract infection.
   • Clinical features: watery discharge, follicular conjunctival reaction, unilateral onset with contralateral involvement within 24–48 hours.
2. Bacterial
   • Common pathogens: Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae.
   • Typically presents with mucopurulent discharge, eyelid crusting upon awakening, and conjunctival injection.
   • In severe cases, hyperacute onset may be caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, requiring immediate systemic therapy.
3. Allergic
   • IgE-mediated hypersensitivity reaction to environmental allergens like pollen, animal dander, and dust mites.
   • Often bilateral with marked pruritus, tearing, and papillary conjunctival response.
   • May be seasonal (hay fever conjunctivitis) or perennial.
4. Irritant
   • Chemical, smoke, or particulate exposure causes direct conjunctival irritation.
   • Symptoms resolve with removal of the offending agent and supportive care.

Fab Eye Care Treatments for Pink Eye

• We do a comprehensive diagnostic evaluation to distinguish between viral, bacterial, allergic, and irritant etiologies.
• Targeted therapeutic approach:
  • Viral: Supportive measures, lubrication, and patient counseling on transmission prevention.
  • Bacterial: Topical antibiotic therapy selected for likely pathogens and resistance profiles.
  • Allergic: Topical antihistamines, mast cell stabilizers, and recommendations for allergen avoidance.
  • Irritant: Ocular surface irrigation, lubrication, and avoidance of the inciting substance.
• Monitoring for complications, including corneal involvement, anterior uveitis, or secondary bacterial infection.

Slowing the Progression of Myopia (near-sightedness)

Myopia, or near-sightedness, is more than just about getting your new glasses—it’s a chronic, progressive disease that can pose long-term risks to ocular health. With the global prevalence of myopia rising significantly, especially among children, early and proactive intervention has never been more critical.

At Fab Eye Care Center, we offer clinically proven myopia control treatments, including the fitting of FDA-approved MiSight® 1 day soft contact lenses, to help slow the progression of myopia and protect long-term visual health.

Understanding the Risks of Progressive Myopia

Children with progressing myopia are at a significantly higher risk of developing serious eye conditions later in life, such as:

High Myopes Have Increased Risk of disease such as: 

• 7x more often get Retinal detachment 
• 40x more often get Myopic maculopathy
• 4x more often get Glaucoma
• 3x more often get Cataracts earlier in life

These risks increase as myopia advances, making early diagnosis and evidence-based management essential.

MiSight® 1 Day: FDA-Approved Myopia Control

Fab Eye Care Center is proud to be certified to fit MiSight® 1 day contact lenses—the first and only FDA-approved soft contact lens proven to slow the progression of myopia in children aged 8 to 12 at the initiation of treatment. Clinical studies have shown that MiSight® lenses can reduce myopia progression by up to 59% over a three-year period, compared to single-vision lenses.

Comprehensive Myopia Management at Fab Eye Care

In addition to MiSight® lenses, Fab Eye Care Center offers a comprehensive approach to myopia control, which may include:

• Low-dose atropine therapy
• Multifocal glasses
• Lifestyle counseling to support healthy visual habits
• Regular axial length monitoring and personalized treatment plans

Our team uses advanced diagnostic tools to carefully monitor and manage each child’s visual development, ensuring the best possible outcomes.

The Myopia Management Options at Fab Eye Care Center

Myopia Progression Risk

Understanding Myopia

Myopia, characterized by the ability to see close objects clearly while distance objects appear blurry, typically develops in childhood and progresses until early adulthood. Higher levels of myopia are associated with a higher risk for retinal detachment, glaucoma and macular degeneration. It is best to provide myopia management options as early as possible, as these are likely to slow or halt myopic progression during some growth periods.

Treatment Options

★ Daily Wear Contact Lenses

• Soft contact lenses worn during the day.
• Designed to slow myopia progression.
• Convenient for active children who play sports.

★ Nightly Wear Orthokeratology Lenses

• Rigid gas-permeable contact lenses worn overnight.
• Temoorarily reshape the cornea to reduce myopia.
• Clear vision during the day without the need for glasses or contact lenes.

★ Low Dose Atropine Drops

• Eye drops applied daily.
• Shown to effectively slow myopia progression in children.
• Generally well-tolerated with minimal side effects.

With the contoured prism technology, Neurolenses provide more prism where it is needed most. This contour prism relaxes the eyes and provides more comfortable vision. Neurolens can be customized for anyone. They can be placed into any frame with any prescription, or even no prescription at all.

Think you may have DRY EYES?

Lumenis OptiPLUS RF for Dry Eye Relief was developed specifically for the sensitive and unique periocular area.

The FDA-cleard Lumenis OptiPlus RF device promotes collagen formation and stimulates periorbital skin rejuvenation by heating the superficial layer of skin, and also reaches deeper tissue to target the meibomian glands.

Lumenis OptiPLUS Now available at our office!
Talk to your doctor about this innovative OptiPlus Dry Eye treatment option.

DID YOU KNOW…?

OptiPLUS RF is also great for the skin! The heat therapy actually increases collagen production in the skin which helps to minimize fine lines, wrinkles, and other natural signs of aging in the face.

OF PATIENTS ARE BOTHERED BY FINE LINES & WRINKLES AROUND THEIR EYES

What is Lumenis OptiPLUS RF?

OptiPLUS by Lumenis is a clinically backed technology that was made specifically for the delicate contours of the eyes. OptiPLUS
delivers heat across several skin layers, to both target the meibomian glands and enhance collagen production with innovative dual-
frequency RF technology.

FDA-cleared Lumenis OptiPLUS RF

Promotes collagen formation and stimulates periorbital skin rejuvenation by heating the superficial layer of skin, and also reaches deeper tissue to target the meibomian glands.

Combination
Therapy for
Ultimate Relief

OptiLight IPL and OptiPLUS RF are clinically proven to work together, delivering synergistic relief for dry eye sufferers. While IPL targets the inflammatory component of Dry Eye Disease, RF works by heating the clogged glands and helping the lipids flow naturally.

How can Radiofrequency (RF) help dry eyes?

Our meibomian glands are located along the top and bottom eyelids and produce the oil layer of our tears. This oil helps keep the tears on our eyes. MGD causes glands to become inflamed, allowing less oil to be secreted into the tear film. Over time these glands can shorten and die off (atrophy) which causes our tears to evaporate more quickly and results in dry eye symptoms.

Radio Frequency uses electromagnetic energy to heat those clogged oil glands. This clears blockages and helps improve the secretion of oil from the meibomian glands.

FAQ

Is Radio Frequency treatment right for me?
OptiPlus Radio Frequency dry eye treatment is ideal for patients with Meibomian Gland Dysfunction. If you have not yet discovered the cause of your dry eye, please call to schedule an appointment with us We will then discuss the best course of treatment for you.

What can I expect?
OptiPlus RF is a comfortable, safe procedure that doesn’t have any downtime. Some patients report that it feels like a relaxing hot stone massage. After the procedure, you might have slight redness which is caused by your skin’s elevated temperatures during treatment and will subside soon afterward. You will be able to return to normal daily activities immediately!

How long does the treatment take, and how many do I need?
It’s typically completed in less than 20 mins! Because MGD varies in severity for each patient, multiple treatments are ideal to achieve optimal results. Your doctor will
recommend four treatments spaced about 2- 4 weeks apart to allow for the glands to begin flowing once again. The time between treatments will also allow time for your skin’s collagen to restore and rebuild elasticity before treating the area again.

Are there any side effects?
Patients may sometimes experience redness and slight swelling of the skin after a procedure. The redness typically fades within a few hours. A happy side effect many patients get is a smoothing of fine lines and wrinkles around their eyes as the collagen in the skin rebuilds in the treatment area.
