According to TCM, cataracts are usually caused by advanced age and physical weakness, deficiency of Qi and blood, and the inability of Qi and blood circulation to nourish the eyes. In addition, emotional influences and the rising damp and heat in the body can also worsen this disease.
Senile cortical cataract is divided into four clinical stages of development: incipient, immature, mature and overmature. Acupuncture is mainly used in the primary stage. There is no significant loss of vision at this stage, but lens opacification may be noted as the pupil dilates. Acupuncture can not only prevent further deterioration, but also improve symptoms to a certain extent.
