Ketan Sharma a young man in early thirties suffered from Macular degeneration with night
blindness, first symptom observed was in the year 2006 .He visited this centre in the
month of Feb,2013
A routine eye examination along with Fundus photo was advised.After careful evaluation
of patient on lines of traditional Chinese medicine along with Modern medical diagnosis
I found fair chances of improvement.
As I do in all patients his near vision was recorded just before first sitting .He was
able to read with Parafoveal area means by tilting his head slightly letters up to N-18
size, and with direct vision ( i.e. without tilting head) he was unable to read letters of even N-36 size. Although in
medical records it is only mentioned how much patient is able to read but here we
ascertain by observing the patient, besides we also observe reading speed and compare it
after the treatment course. Patient is also advised to observe ease of reading and whether eyes feel fatigued or not on normal continuous reading.
As per treatment protocol first sitting was administered and results were satisfactory,
he wanted to continue treatment for full course. At the end of 12 sittings following
results again were observed-
According to patient he observed first symptom in the year 2006, and he has improved as
his vision was upto the year 2009.
In the night vision he improved upto 70%-80%,
Color vision has improved up to 80%
Overall improvement in his activities 65%-75%
Reading comfortable both in reading speed, feeling of eye fatigued 75% less. with
Parafoveal area he was able to read N-12 Size letters. And with direct vision able to
read N-18 letters.
Follow up
Acupuncture points selected during the treatment were programmed for self help in a
specific way. Observations are made during the treatment on these points and are
programmed depending on response of patient which varies patient to patient due to
variations in body constitution. These points are activated after a full course of
treatment and help in sustaining the improvement. along with Medicine dispensed from
here. He was also taught self help and dietary precautions.
After one year he has improved a lot ,and told me able to read novels news papers
normally without any fatigue.
As per normal Modern medical standards this is not a small achievement
