How Acupuncture Works for Vision Problems

Acupuncture is a widely used treatment method in China, and it is currently used as part of complex medical treatment in many countries. Its essence lies in the impact on the active points of the body at strictly defined points, corresponding to the location of the peripheral nerve branches.

Conventional treatment simply compensates for the problem through external means (glasses) or internally by reshaping another part of the eye (laser surgery). Acupuncture for eye problems works on the underlying cause!

In general, Chinese medicine describes myopia in childhood as caused by deficiencies in nutrition, development, and daily routine; in adulthood, stagnation of energy and blood are the most common issues.

With acupuncture successful treatment, you can expect more situations where you can avoid wearing glasses, or changing back to a weaker prescription.

Psychological factors are very important during the treatment of blurred vision:

  • the patient's mood for recovery and successful treatment,
  • believe in the method of treatment,
  • sincere trust your doctor.
