Hi ,

 

I just graduated from TCM college in 2006, now serving my in-housemanship

(aka apprenticeship). Recently , my father-in-law(age 68) 's vision is blur in

the centre of his right eye. After western doc 's diagnosis, it is confirmed to

be Age related macular degeneration. I like to seek advise as to how TCM treat

this. I read before that TCM herbs & acupuncture does helps.

 

Appreciate anyone to share their experience in treating this

You may want to take a look at this site. http://www.naturaleyecare.com/ Not

only do they have good information (and classes) the book on eye care is

helpful. I have treated a number of cases and usually stopped or reversed dry

MD. acupuncture, herbs and supplements as well as dietary changes are a must.

Be well,

Bob

I have a patient who's retina partial detached a few years back. With the

help of some rest and herbs, the retina has partially reattached, but her

vision is not 100% of what it was.

 

Her TCM differentiation was Kidney/Liver yin deficiency, and so she was put

on to a modified Ming Mu Di Huang Wan. Her vision has gotten somewhat

better, but not worse. I include that last portion because her doctor

commented on her eye's progress. He said " whatever it is that she's taking,

continue to do so. "

 

There are quite a few formulas that target the eyes, but of course you have

to differentiate the syndrome/pattern. As far as acupuncture goes, same

thing applies. Treat the pattern, but many books also encourage use of local

points such as GB 1, UB 1, UB 2, St. 1, St. 2, GB 14, etc...

 Hi Xi-Fu.

 Get your father's Chinese Medical diagnosis as clear as possible. Get

everything straight. Is it yin, yang, or dual yin-yang deficiency? In what

organ is it focussed? Where did it show up first? Once you have that straight,

it will be very easy to see how to proceed.

 In the meantime, it would be a good idea to start him on " 石 斛 夜 光 丸 "

/Shi Hu Ye Guan Wan, unless he has a strong yang deficiency.

 When giving him pills, get the newest batches possible from reputable

manufacturers. That way you get pure herbs that are fresh.

  However, once you get his pattern established, he will need to take the raw

herbs and cook them and everything.

 I've treated many cases of MD, and they tend to improve quite a bit so long as

the patient is motivated.

 Please contact me for any advice or questions.

 Hugo
