Professor GAO Wei-bin's clinical experience of using electroacupuncture for dry eye
regarding the use of electroacupuncture in the treatment of dry eye are introduced. Professor
GAO
believes that the occurrence of dry eye is mainly related to the stagnation of
qi
and blood in the eye meridians
leading to inadequate nourishment of the eyes. The acupuncture treatment principle focuses on promoting blood circulation
clearing and benefiting the eye orifices. By integrating traditional acupuncture theory with modern neuroanatomy
the treatment approach centers on stimulating the lacrimal gland
emphasizing the importance of promoting
addressing symptoms as a priority
and considering both the root cause and symptoms.The precise acupoint selection is emphasized. Acupoints of periocular region
such as Taiyang (EX-HN 5) and Leixian point are selected along with Fengchi (GB 20) and Gongxue point to treat dry eye. Attention is also given to the use of electroacupuncture and the selection of its frequencies
emphasizing specific needling techniques based on the severity and classification of the disease.
