Your eyes can reveal more than you might expect. Illnesses such as diabetes or cardiovascular disease can often be reflected by the condition of your eyes. Glaucoma, optic neuritis, and even vision loss are often associated with systemic health problems. It is this interconnection between your eyes and your overall health that makes Chinese medicine an ideal solution to numerous eye and vision problems. A Chinese medicine practitioner specializing in eye disease can determine imbalances within the body that can manifest into conditions affecting vision and sight.
