How did you come into the field of treating Retinitis Pigmentosa, Macular Degeneration, Optic nerve atrophy and other eye ailments?

I am a medical graduate in the Modern Medicine and was practicing this till the year 1997. After that, I learnt Acupuncture and started practicing this system. It was in the year 2000 that I successfully treated a case of loss of central vision due to injury resulting in blood clot in the macula of a young patient. Encouraged by the results, I developed interest in this field. Although this patient was also termed as incurable/ irreversible loss of vision by modern medicine, he gained near normal vision. However, subsequent development into this field was not easy. It has taken me years to reach where I am today. Nurturing and growing in this field is a continuous process. I would like to share here that I have never ever imagined that one day I would be working in this field of medicine because a M.B.B.S doctor would never have been able to enter such a field.

We know that there is no cure for such ailments in Modern Medicine but many practitioners in Traditional Medicine are practising in these ailments; how do you compare your results with the other practitioners?

It is upto you to compare, but I have cured many legally blind patients with this technique. They are now self-dependent and are continuing same improvement, even after 10 years. This gives me immense satisfaction. Moreover when I receive an invitation from the U.S. Acupuncture Association requesting to publish my results, I got a chance to speak at the Indian Medical Association,all this explains where I stand.

Do you follow up these patients for any decline in improvement?

Yes I do follow up with these patients. I am happy to state that more than 90% of my patients have confirmed that there is no decline. In fact, some of them have given me feedback about the further improvement in vision even after completing the course of treatment.

About Acu Eye Zone

https://retinitis-pigmentosa.in are webpages which are for the patients suffering from loss of vision due to the posterior chamber of the eyes, in simple language, loss of vision arising due to defects in the retina, macula or optic nerve.

If eyes are compared with the camera, then the retina and macula are the reel of the camera. In case the reel is defective, it is to be replaced; there is no repair.

Today, there is even surgery to transplant the beating heart, liver and lungs, but we have never heard of transplanting a full functional retina.

A few months back, a huge team of eye surgeons tried this surgery in New York. It took around 21 hours, but the patient didn't get any sight! Even though it was announced as a success.

In genetic eye disorders, such as in the case of retinitis pigmentosa, where around 100 genes have been identified, Modern Medicine has treatment for only one gene. This is an injection Luxterna and costs eight lacs USD. Costliest treatment.

Now, coming to Optic nerve atrophy or injury. The optic nerve connects visual centres in the brain with the eyes, so we can see images formed on the retina.

How to Identify Genuine Practitioners in the Field of Eye Care

In the field of eye care, the treatment of irreversible loss of vision has emerged as a new area of interest.

Although modern medicine has some treatment options for this type of vision loss, they are costly and often less effective. For example, gene therapy may cost around INR 6 crores and claims only about 10% improvement. Earlier, stem cell therapy was also explored, but it was largely unsuccessful.

This is where the role of other systems of medicine needs to be explored.

What is interesting about these systems is that they are collectively termed “Alternative Systems of Medicine.” However, many of these systems have vast literature, sometimes much more extensive than that of modern medicine.

The term alternative system literally means that if a treatment is not available in modern medicine, patients may try other systems such as Ayurveda, Acupuncture, or Homeopathy.

But why not adopt an integrated approach instead of an alternative approach?

An integrated approach means combining knowledge from different systems of medicine for more effective treatment. For example, considering the nutritional aspects discovered by modern medicine while advising patients according to Ayurvedic principles based on their constitution. In modern medicine, there is generally no individualized approach based on a patient’s constitution.

At present, many practitioners from different systems of medicine are trying to explore treatments in this field. Some are genuinely offering treatment, while some clinics claim successful treatment of retinitis pigmentosa, macular degeneration, and other incurable conditions without sufficient experience.

One interesting aspect of these self-proclaimed doctors is that they often do not maintain proper treatment records, yet they present themselves as specialists capable of treating retinal and other eye diseases.

Many patients who have contacted us shared that they had been misled several times by such proclaimed healers.

So, how can one identify a genuine practitioner in this field?

The doctor should be registered with at least one recognized system of medicine.
There should be no fake degrees mentioned by the practitioner. For example, some doctors write MD (Acu) as their acupuncture qualification. Worldwide, including in China, there is no such degree as MD in Acupuncture. Even renowned teachers and professors of acupuncture usually write C.Ac. (Certificate Course in Acupuncture).
Apart from patient testimonials, there should be objective results verified by modern medical diagnostic tools, such as OCT (Optical Coherence Tomography) or visual field tests.
It is preferable if treatment outcomes are published in national or international medical journals.
If a doctor claims awards for their work, their credentials should be verified.
Treatment response should be evaluated early, and the patient should show improvement as promised by the treating doctor.

Eye Donation Means Cornea Donation Only

Despite the huge budgets being spent on much-hyped stem cell treatments, there has not been a single consistently successful patient outcome reported worldwide.
Although gene therapy, which is being tried for genetic loss of vision, has shown some success, only about 10% improvement may be possible in patients who respond to the treatment. Moreover, it costs more than INR 6 crores.

In this scenario, our certified technique named “Assimilated Technique”, which has been awarded ISO certification for its results, is a significant achievement. This technique has remained stable for more than 20 years, and the results are claimed to be five to six times better than those reported with gene therapy.

Retinitis Pigmentosa

Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a rare genetic eye disorder that causes progressive degeneration of the retina, the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye. RP typically begins with night blindness and a gradual loss of peripheral vision (tunnel vision). Over time, it may lead to severe visual impairment or complete blindness.

Macular Degeneration

Macular degeneration is a progressive eye disease that affects the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp, detailed vision. It leads to the gradual loss of central vision, making activities such as reading, driving, and recognizing faces difficult, while peripheral vision usually remains unaffected.

Optic nerve atrophy and Injury.

Optic atrophy is a condition in which the optic nerve—responsible for transmitting visual information from the eye to the brain—deteriorates, leading to vision loss. It is not a disease itself but a sign of damage to the optic nerve, which may be caused by factors such as poor blood supply (ischemia), trauma, tumors, glaucoma, or neurological disorders.

Amblyopia

Amblyopia (commonly known as lazy eye) is a vision development disorder in which one eye fails to achieve normal visual acuity, even with prescription glasses or contact lenses. It occurs when the brain favors one eye over the other, leading to reduced vision and poor coordination in the weaker eye.

Glaucoma

Glaucoma is a group of eye diseases that damage the optic nerve, often due to increased intraocular pressure (IOP). If left untreated, this progressive condition can lead to vision loss or blindness. It usually begins with the loss of peripheral vision and may go unnoticed until the damage becomes severe.
