Acupuncture Treatment For Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a "silent" disease that can go asymptomatic for many years and slowly steal your vision. With most cases, there is no pain signal to alert you that something is wrong. By the time you figure out that something is happening, the disease process may have already progressed to a moderate or advanced state. My goal in this book is to give you a little information about the kind of work I do for those dealing with glaucoma - or those who have loved ones diagnosed with glaucoma. I'll make some general suggestions for supplements, lifestyle, and nutrition which may help slow the progression of your condition, by preserving the health and function of the optic nerve. If you have any questions beyond what is covered here, please feel free to contact our office at your convenience to further discuss your situation and what options might be available to you.I specialize in treating degenerative eye conditions with Acupuncture, Chinese Medicine, and Naturopathic Medicine. I have been practicing since 1996 and have worked with thousands of patients from around the world with various degenerative eye conditions.

The AcuVision program incorporates different styles of acupuncture, herbs, supplements, eye exercises, nutrition, and lifestyle management.After years of trial and error, I kept and use the acupuncture methods that seem to show clear and relatively consistent results with my patients. I am constantly evolving and looking to improve our results which will be an ongoing process. We have established highly effective acupuncture methods that demonstrate clinical efficacy. These acupuncture treatment strategies have also demonstrated efficacy in research trials with Johns Hopkins University and NOVA Southeast.
