Acupuncture & Chinese herbs for vision loss

Couple of weeks back, Dr. He and I saw an interesting case. This patient presents as a left eye having a blood clot in the retinal vein, causing a “small mountain” to grow on the retina.
She came in to see us and mentioned that her vision was very blurry and could not even read the biggest letter on the Snellen eye chart and said that it was so blurry as if she had a curtain in front of her eye.
Her eye doctor told her that this requires an intervention which sounded very scary to her and wanted to see if there were any other options as she thought that she would lose her eyesight forever. She got a shot in her eye to see if the clot can dissolve.
But, then to my surprise on the first treatment, a few acupuncture points and Chinese herbs which the practitioner prescribed resulted in clearing the clot and improving her vision. Next week, she came back and said she could see everything clearly and she was even trying to read the intricate details of text that was on the wall. Her vision was back to 20/30, she felt very happy and said that it was a miracle and was very happy to find this place.
After two or three more treatments, she even forgot that she had this condition and we moved on to skillfully treat another condition that she had. Just wanted to mention that she is the mother of our former intern.
