  • Title: [Acupuncture in glaucoma (author's transl)].
    Author: Sold-Darseff J, Leydhecker W.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1978 Dec; 173(6):760-4. PubMed ID: 732193.
    Abstract:
    Following the principles of classical Chinese acupuncture we treated 18 patients suffering from glaucoma chronicum simplex. We did not see any significant alterations of intraocular pressure whereas we attained improvement of recovery in some functional diseases such as blepharospasm or migraine. In our opinion therapeutic acupuncture works as a masked suggestive therapy. It is useless in organic diseases of the eye.
