——Acupuncture at Xinwu Point for the treatment of dry eye syndrome
Many people have red eyes and think that their eyes are inflamed. They use anti-inflammatory eye drops, but they have not been seen for a long time. After an eye doctor experienced, they found that the patient is dry eye. According to Zhao Jing, MD, from the Department of Ophthalmology, Wenzhou Hospital of Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine, these patients are quite common in outpatient clinics , and dry eye syndrome is closely related to the lives of modern people. The factors include: computer radiation, environmental pollution, dry climate, drugs and so on.
According to the Asian Dry Eye Association, the latest dry eye definition is proposed: dry eye is a multifactorial disease characterized by a series of symptoms caused by unstable tear film, with or without visual impairment, and may cause ocular surface damage.
The "new definition" emphasizes that the instability of the tear film is the key to the diagnosis of dry eye, so the treatment should focus on the stability of the tear film. This new concept also spawned a new therapeutic strategy: tear film targeted therapy. Simply put, we can treat according to different types of dry eye , so as to promote the secretion of the corresponding components of the tear film, and finally improve the stability of the tear film. At present, our traditional diagnosis and treatment method is the use of eye drops or surgery, but the efficacy is not particularly ideal, so what better way to treat dry eyes?
Dr. Zhao Jing said: We have a unique acupoint - Xinwu point, the acupuncture point has the function of stimulating the secretion of lacrimal gland, so it can be used to promote the lacrimal gland to actively secrete tears to treat dry eye syndrome.
"Xinwu" science popularizationXinwu Point is a new acupuncture point for the treatment of nasal diseases from the perspective of surgical anatomy, according to the theory and method of integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine. Therefore, this acupoint is named "Xinwu" by his name. At the same time, it was also found that this acupoint also has the function of stimulating the secretion of the lacrimal gland.
According to Dr. Zhao Jing: At present, the Department of Ophthalmology of the Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine Hospital of Wenzhou City combines the treatment method of “Acupuncture Xinwu Point” in the treatment of dry eye syndrome, and has developed a unique treatment plan for the hospital, namely: acupuncture Xinwu +Hot moxibustion + eye-buried needle + meibomian gland massage, the basic principles of diagnosis and treatment are as follows:
First, the principle of acupuncture Xinwu point: can stimulate the lacrimal gland to secrete tears, increase the water component of the tear film of the ocular surface
Second, the principle of hot moxibustion: through the eye hot moxibustion to promote regional blood circulation around the eye, promote the smooth opening of the meibomian gland, is conducive to the discharge of lipid material in the meibomian gland, increase tear film stability.
Third, the principle of burying the eye around the eye: can continuously stimulate the eye points around the eye, promote local blood circulation around the eye, stimulate the secretion of tears in the meibomian glands, and increase the stability of the tear film.
Fourth, the principle of meibomian gland massage: massage the meibomian gland, open the glandular duct gland, which is conducive to the timely exclusion of lipid secretions from the meibomian glands, increasing the lipid composition of the tear film, thereby increasing the stability of the tear film.
