According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the health of the eyes is related to the overall health of the organs, with emphasis on the liver, spleen, and kidneys. Glaucoma is commonly linked with factors such as wind, fire, phlegm, stagnation of blood, and deficiency in the liver and kidneys. Acupuncturists have found that acupuncture can help lower eye pressure, improve aqueous humor drainage, regulate microcirculation in the eyes, enhance retinal blood flow, and protect the optic nerve. With the rise in cases of glaucoma among younger individuals, early detection and a combination of Western and traditional Chinese medicine treatments are recommended for optimal care.
