What is natural eye care?

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) eye care focuses on treating symptoms through increasing blood flow, nutrients and energy to improve vision strength.  TCM methods will address the most critical functional processes vital to optimal ocular function.  Many people feel that their vision gets increasingly worse with each visit to the eye doctor.  With proper natural care and herbal supplements your eyes can relax and repair without depending on the mechanical support of eye glasses.
This is great news as we are able to begin treating eye disorders such as:

  • Macular Degeneration
  • Cataracts
  • Glaucoma
  • Nearsightedness (myopia)
  • Farsightedness (hyperopia or hypermetropia)
  • Presbyopia (‘middle-age sight’)
  • Astigmatism
  • Eye fatigue and discomfort
  • Discomfort in bright light (photosensitivity and photophobia)
  • Vision related headaches
  • Computer eye strain (CSS)

The cells of the eyes need clean air, clean water and healthy nutrients to maintain their healthy, normal function.  Vital to healthy vision is the balance of mind and body, which means that emotional stresses can lead to impaired vision.  This balance is essential for ongoing ocular energy production and detoxification and we can help you begin this process.

In a relaxing, soothing environment, the fine acupuncture needles are inserted in accordance with the your personal diagnosis.  Additional needles are inserted in the fat surrounding the eyeball and stimulated by mild electrical current.  The electro-stimulation will begin the relaxation of the muscles while your Chinese herbal formula helps improve vision and decreases eye pressure.
