No. For many degenerative eye conditions there is no cure. Natural Eye Regeneration is a form of management that can slow or halt degeneration and help retain whatever eyesight remains. A number of patients report an increase in vision following treatment, though how long any improvement lasts depends on factors like lifestyle, nutrition, frequency of treatment, and the eye condition itself.

We have successfully treated Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), Glaucoma (open angle), Macular Degeneration (wet and dry, AMD/ARMD), Diabetic Retinopathy, Optic Nerve Atrophy, Dry Eyes, Stargardt Disease, Usher’s Syndrome, and more.

This form of treatment has been used with over 10,000 patients for varying eye conditions, and over 80% notice an improvement in their vision, whether that’s seeing more lines on an eye chart, colours and objects becoming clearer, or an increase in visual field as monitored by an analyzer. How long any improvement lasts depends on factors like lifestyle, nutrition, frequency of treatment, and the eye condition itself.

We review your specific eye condition and overall health to determine any lifestyle factors that need to change, proper nutrition, vitamin and mineral recommendations, your acupuncture treatment frequency and duration, and what to expect going forward.
