Here are some of the pictures of squint eyes:
Good news, we acupuncturists are able to correct their squint eyes, only less than ten sessions of acupuncture will be able to see some good effects.
Some websites suggest surgery to correct the squint eyes which many parents will reluctant!
We have done acupuncture for young kids and adults who suffer from squint eyes. Depends on cases to cases some of them without serious eye diseases, usually takes about less than ten sessions of acupuncture to see some good results.
The reasons are that the eye balls are controlled by 6 ligaments, we adjust the tension of ligaments, the squint eyes can be rectified.
DRY EYES
Dry eyes can occur when you are unable to produce enough tear fluid to lubricate your eyeballs. Many people when they are old, they have mild dry eyes. But there are cases that they suffer from very serious dry eyes that causes them to be very uncomfortable. Dry eyes can be very frustrating as you will lose all your interest in everything because you will experience very bad mood. There was a woman who had very bad dry eyes came to our clinic and complained of dry eyes.
She told us her story that she was asked to go to Gleneagles Hospital to delivery her fourth child. The gynecologist suggested that she should opt for induced delivery because her vagina was slightly opened. She was young did not know that that was her fourth child, the delivery should be easy. Not suspecting that the gynae wanted to do delivery in the daytime, also he could earn more money.
She checked into the hospital at 8 am, he gave her medicine to take and to chew in her month. The baby did not come. She was given Epidural to reduce her pain. The anesthesian was anxious to go home and the baby still was not ready to come at 5pm. So she was told to have a second to-up of Epidural and the anesthesian went home. After the second dose of Epidural, she felt numb and she felt very cold, her womb was numb that there was no contraction. She was also semi-conscious. And because there was no contraction, the womb cannot push the baby out. The doctor was nervous, and she could hear the nurses were calling her to push the baby out. Eventually the baby managed to come out. Everyone was relieved for the time being. Then she was sent to her ward. She was happy that she had another son. Her husband also never suspected anything would go wrong and went home happily at around 8pm. At about 11pm, the nurse on duty watched over her, and realize that she was bleeding. The nurse alerted the gynae, but he was too tired to come over. Until the nurse called him to tell him that the bleeding did not stop. He came eventually at around 3am to do a cauterization, and to give her blood transfusion urgently. She said that it was the blood transfusion that caused blood clots in her eyes that she subsequently had very bad dry eyes. She suspected that the blood transfusion was not properly defrosted due to the urgency.
After the episode, she had very bad dry eye, she suspected that it was caused by the un-defrosted blood transfusion. She said that her dry eyes were so bad that she wanted to close her eyes most of the time and could not read small words. Her mode was so bad that she could not attend to her new-borne child. To her the experience was a nightmare to her. She said that she was so sad that she wanted to commit suicide.
On recommendation, she came to our clinic, she was given acupuncture for the first time. She could feel that the tear was flowing down on her eyes and did feel less dry of her eyes. She marveled at the miracle of acupuncture. She came for acupuncture every week and took medication as well. She said she was happy that her dry eyes had recovered about 95%.

The following are other eyes problem we treat:
MYOPIA 近视眼
Myopia, commonly known as short-sightedness, has remained one of the biggest public health challenges in Singapore, which has very high myopia rates. Myopia typically begins in early childhood and progresses during childhood. Myopia typically begins in early childhood and progresses during childhood.
Based on unpublished data from routine vision screening done by the School Health Service, the prevalence of defective vision amounting to unaided visual acuity of 6/12 or worse among Primary 1 students was 33% in the year 2000, prior to the inception of the National Myopia Prevention Programme, 65% of Singapore students suffered from myopia by the age of 12 years. Among these 12-year-old students, the prevalence of severe defective vision (i.e. unaided visual acuity worse than 6/60) was 13% (unpublished data).
We have a few numbers of parents who care about their children’s eyesight, brought their young children to come for acupuncture and eye massage. Most of them have short-sightedness, some of them have high myopia. One of the mothers who has only one daughter was so caring that she refused to allow her daughter to read story books, instead she will read to her every night. She brought her daughter fortnightly to do acupuncture. Whenever they came, after the acupuncture, the mother will sit by her bed side to read story books to her, this went on for three long years. The feedback the mother gave was her high myopia was slightly decrease (usually, the myopia would jump every 3 months by 100 degrees).
Acupuncture and regular massage of one’s eyes can really prevent further increase in a person’s eyesight. Usually, children who are willing to do massage can be as early as 6 years old. But for acupuncture, only when they are 8 years old and on the parents’ persuasion, then they will be willing to do acupuncture.
1) A 53 yr-old lady came one day, telling me that her right eyelid drooped for about a month. Her left eyelid was also partly drooped. Because both her eyes were drooped, when she walked she had to hold one of her eye lids in order to see the road. She was accompanied by her husband as she dared not walk on her own. She told me that she was doing administration work and her work required her to work on the computer for at least 8 hours a day.
I looked at her eyes. Both the eyes look tired and dull. This is what TCM calls “五脏六腑的精气皆上注于眼”. She also said she felt tired easily. I told her to take two weeks off from her work. I treated her with acupuncture and gave her some herbal Chinese medicine. After four treatments, she was able to open both her eyes slowly. She came for treatment every three days. After 8 treatments, both her eyes were able to open fully. Of course, she was delighted and relieved. She was still very worried that her eyes may relapse again because when she got back to work, she still had to look at computer for long hours.
Attached are her pictures. Pictures are cropped so that her identity is not revealed.
2) Five years ago, one elderly man, age 65 came to see me. His right eyelid was drooped for about six months. He was introduced by his friend to see me. He said his Western doctor told him to wait for six months and his eyelid would open up by itself. So he patiently waited for six months but his right eyelid still drooped.
I looked at his right eye, his eye looked tired and dull. This is what TCM calls “五脏六腑的精气皆上注于眼”. I treated him with acupuncture and some Chinese herbal medicine. Strangely, after three acupuncture sessions, his right eye was able to slowly open up. Two weeks later, his right eye was fully opened.
Attached are his pictures. Pictures are cropped so that his face is not fully revealed. For this case, I did not take his picture when his right eyelid was fully drooped. I took his pictures only when his eye was half opened and fully opened.
