Treatment Methods

Open angle Glaucoma is usually treated by treating the UB, ST and GB channels. As GB is a yang channel, on stimulation, it delivers the qi from the liver to the eyes and upper body.

UB on the other hand is the water element channel which on stimulation will deliver the qi from the kidney to the upper body and eyes of the patient. Stimulating the stomach channels ensure that the spleen nutritive Yang qi is delivered to the eyes.

There are a lot of eye exercises which will be prescribed for the patient of TCM. One of them is to apply pressure under the eyeball using the middle finger upto ten seconds in and up and another ten seconds for the rest.

This exercise when done at least three times a day for three days in a row shows a lot of improvement in the condition.
