Gloucoma problem if still curable....?
A neighbor of mine happened to have gloucoma for 20 years already. He is now 72 years old. I just happened to notice about his condition while I was on my way to visit my Mom on a weekend. He was left alone outside the gate of his house and was trying to stand or adjust his position. And with my reflex action, I grabbed his hands so as not to fall.
From that time on, I could not erase him from my mind. Since I was able to raise a certain amount of money, I contacted an Eye Doctor. He told me that he needed to examine the patient first. Hopefully, I will be able to accompany him with his wife to the EYE CENTER this weekend.
My question is this.... If the doctor will declare a negative result, will this eye problem still be curable by acupancture?
Thank you and GOD BLESS.
Thank you, Lady Sharon. He is totally blind.

I've never heard of glaucoma being approached with accupuncture. The usual treatments are laser surgery and or drops.
If he is totally blind already, you could brighten his final years by hooking him up with an organization called "Lighthouse", or with books on tape.
If he is almost blind, a condition called "low vision" you might be able to help him afford assistive magnifyers and or lights to make the most of what he has.
Remember, probably the greatest thing you can offer him is your time, but let HIM direct its use.
