Acupuncture of 50 persons suffering from myopia, glaucoma, retinitis pigmentosa (degeneratio retinae pigmentosa), optic nerve atrophy, aged 5 to 71 was carried out. One to 3 courses were conducted, each consisting of 10-15 seances. All the patients were treated with acupuncture at these bilateral points: Extra 2, BL 2, GB 14, 4, TH 17, St 1. In cases of optic nerve atrophy, points T 15 and BL 60 were also needed. By indirect electropuncture (by Chinese apparatus WQ 10), points BL 2 and St 1 were also stimulated. In all the patients, a subjective improvement of visual acuity was observed. In patients with retinitis pigmentosa, an enlargement of the borders of the visual field, investigated by perimetry and isopter perimetry was observed, as well as light difference sensitivity established by static perimetry. Electrooculograms showed a reduction of the basic values and of Arden''s ratio. Three of the patients with glaucoma had a decrease in pressure of the eye, measured by Maklakow''s tonometer.
