Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Hi, all! I just had an inquiry from a guy who wants to go into aviation with the coast guard, but has slight myopia, and is too close to the eyesight requirements for comfort. (20/100 is required, he's very close to that in one eye.) He said that he's read acupuncture can relax the optic nerve and change 20/100 to 20/20 vision in a few treatments. I just wondered if anybody here has seen this kind of improvement in eyesight with acupuncture and/or herbs, and if so, I'd welcome your tips and guidance! Thanks!

Guest guest Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 I posted yesterday about the White House having an acupuncturist and them using the acupuncture on pilots for macular degeneration sorry I think I said retinal (which is a big problem in dogs and I had dog on the brain) anyway, I did purchase a book on acupuncture for vision problems. Currently, I am in Santa Fe at a homeopathy conferece so don't have the reference of the book but there is one out there.Sincerely, Patricia Jordan DVM,CVA,CTCVM & Herbology : aanderson: Thu, 13 Nov 2008 18:02:09 +0000Acupuncture/herbs for myopia?
