Biography:

PURPOSE: In underdeveloped villages of India, infants with congenital cataracts often do not undergo cataract surgery due to socioeconomic reasons. Consistent with a strict interpretation of the critical period, if congenital cataracts are treated within a few months of birth it leads to a near normal development of vision but after age 6 or 7 years there should be little or no improvement. The experiments below show that vision can be regained after the critical period. The objective of Experiment 1 is to assess the development of the tactile-visual link compared to intramodal tactile and visual object recognition while Experiment 2 assesses precision of the tactile-visual link. METHODS: Subjects were between 8 and 15 years old. In Experiment 1 objects were used to assess tactile-to-tactile, tactile-to-visual, visual-to-tactile, and visual-to-visual transfer in three patients. In Experiment 2, objects of a specific length, aspect ratio, or curvature ratio were used to assess the precision of tactile-to-visual transfer in three other patients and four normally sighted control subjects.

RESULTS: In Experiment 1, tactile-to-visual transfer accuracy pre-operatively was about 20% and improved to above 50% during one week. In Experiment 2 the patients had a preoperative error range of 23-51%.  There was a 25% improvement on post operation day 1 and by the day 4 there was a 50% improvement in the number of errors.

CONCLUSION:  We have demonstrated that the link between touch and vision strengthened significantly after the classic critical period.

Abstract:

Introduction: Glaucoma is a group of eye conditions that damage the optic nerve, the health of which is vital for good vision. This damage is often caused by an abnormally high pressure in your eye.

Purpose: To demonstrate that glaucoma is a systemic disease, caused by energy imbalances.  

Methods: This study was centered in two case reports. 1º: Patient V.S., 76, male, black, sought acupuncture due to pains in his legs (August 2006). He also presented constipation and felt cold in his lower limbs. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). The diagnosis was Blood and Kidney Yang Deficiency. Ten acupuncture sessions, twice a week, were performed. He presented great improvement in his leg pain, and stopped treatment. One month later, he returned to be re-evaluated, and described to have a surprising drop in his Intra Ocular Pressure (IOP), even though the physician was not aware of the patients glaucoma.  He was performing glaucoma’s treatment for fourty years, with no drop in the eye pressure, almost over 40.  2º: Patient I., female, 53, had suffered chronic bilateral open angle glaucoma for 21 years. Her IOP was 20mmHg and 26mmHg for RE and LE, respectively.  She performed twenty sessions of auricular acupuncture with mustard seeds.

Results: With the auricular acupuncture sessions, the intraocular (IOP) pressure of the first patient dropped from 40 to 17. In the second case, after twenty sessions of auricular acupuncture her IOP decreased to 13mmHg and 11mmHg for the RE and LE, respectively. Gradually, the second patient was able to withdrawn the eye drops.

Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that Glaucoma is only a reflex of a systemic energy imbalance.  To achieve better results it is important to treat the root of the patients’ problem (energy imbalances) and not only the symptoms (IOP).

Abstract:

Introduction: Polypoidal choroidal vasculopathy (PCV) is an age-related macular degeneration subtype. Changes in choroidal flow, poor scleral outflow, breakdown of the retinal pigment epithelium, and leakage/breakdown of normal or abnormal retinal vessels are the pathophysiological mechanisms that are isolated or in combination associated with subretinal fluid accumulation. In Traditional Chinese Medicine the fluid accumulation could be linked to Spleen-Pancreas deficiency, caused by emotional factors and wrong diet.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that PCV can be treated balancing the Yin, Yang, Qi and Blood energy, mainly the Spleen-Pancreas meridian and treating the energy deficiency in the Chakra energy centers. 

Methods: One case report. In 2007, when the patient was 47 years old, she started noticing a gray spot in the central region of her right eye. The patient searched for a ophthalmologist and was diagnosed with Polypoidal Vasculopathy, after several exams. She performed treatment with laser and injections during 2009,2010 and 2011, intaking injections every 4 or 5 weeks, with no success. She started treatment with auricular acupuncture, chakras measurement ( all resulted in 1 of 8), and made use of crystal-based medication and homeopathy as well as Chinese dietary couselling.

Results: After one month of treatment  no sub retinal fluid was found in her eyes,.

Conclusion: There is energy alterations related to the formation of sub retinal fluid in PCV. There is a necessity of correcting imbalances in the Spleen-Pancreas meridian using diet, auricular acupuncture and crystal-based medication and homeopathy to correct the energy imbalance in the chakras, to achieve better results in the sub retinal fluid accumulation control. This disease is not spefically linked to the eyes, but is a symptom of a systemic energy imbalance.

Abstract:

The Cryptococcus genus, include a wide group of yeast, which species are usually found in water and plants. C neoformans and C gatti are considered pathogens for humans and animals, whoever Cryptococcus laurentii , C albidus and C curvatus are considered as  potential environmental pathogen for both.

Abstract:

Squint or strabismus is an ocular condition in which an eye deviated from its normal position of parallelism we have different forms of squints 1 con 2 acquires one of the most important things while dealing with a squint is to do the following things 1. Visual assessment 2. Refraction mydriatic 3. Fundus examination Why funds as in children retinoblastoma and coats disease can present as squint urge we have got various forms of squint 1. Accommodate 2. Non Accommodative 11 paralytic non paralytic 11 concomitant non concomitant squint can be esotopia, exotropia, hypertropia, hypotripia, pseudotropia, hertrotropia, microtropia and cyclotropia.
