Most of our patients come to us after conventional treatments haven’t worked. These symptoms may respond to acupuncture when other options haven’t provided lasting relief.
Acupuncture works by stimulating the nerves that signal the tear-producing glands to turn back on, reactivating your body’s natural tear production system rather than masking symptoms with drops.
No. Treatment points are located entirely around the eye, never in it or on it, including around the eyebrow, at the cheekbone and temple, behind the ear, and on the hands, wrists, lower legs, and feet.
Common causes include LASIK surgery side effects, Sjögren’s syndrome, prolonged screen use, and blocked meibomian glands, all of which can stop the glands responsible for producing tears from working properly.
