Acupuncture treatment shows promise as a complementary treatment for various eye problems, including dry eye syndrome, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration (AMD), and optic nerve damage, by potentially improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and stimulating nerve regeneration. While clinical studies suggest benefits and it is generally considered a safe therapy when performed by a qualified professional using sterilized needles, more rigorous research is needed to fully establish its efficacy for many conditions. Potential Benefits Improved Circulation: Acupuncture may increase blood flow to the eye, enhancing ocular perfusion. Reduced Inflammation: By stimulating nerves and regulating energy flow, acupuncture may help reduce inflammation in the eye. Nerve Stimulation: Some research indicates acupuncture can stimulate nerve regeneration, which is beneficial for optic nerve damage. Alleviates Symptoms: Studies suggest it can help with symptoms of dry eye, such as reduced tear secretion.
