- Abstract
The treatment of eye diseases with Chinese medicine can be an effective complement, and in some cases an alternative, to orthodox biomedical therapy. This article gives a short overview of the history and theoretical basis of Chinese medicine ophthalmology, especially in terms of treating eye diseases with acupuncture and tuina. It also presents two cases: the treatment of allergic rhinoconjunctivitis with tuina and the treatment of primary open-angle glaucoma with acupuncture and tuina, to illustrate the theory presented.
