Also spleen qi/yang xu leading to poor nourishment or retina and

I treated a patient with macular degeneration few years ago. She was told she

would blind by an eye specialist 10 years back. She had very blurred vision and

was on the verge of total blindness. She came to him for constipation issue

initially. She later told me the vision was slightly improved but she did not

continue to me since.

If you are interested in Chinese medicine treatment for your patient, I can ask

my colleague for details. He specializes in eye treatment with Chinese medicine

(with a master degree in eye specialty from Chengdu U of TCM).
