✨ Faustina’s Vision Journey with High Myopia: From Uncertainty to Clarity and Confidence
Meet Faustina, a 29-year-old postgraduate student from Hong Kong living with high myopia and retinal complications. For most of her life, her world was shaped by severe nearsightedness, where even daily tasks like reading and studying required intense effort. Over time, her condition progressed to retinal thinning and internal hemorrhage, bringing growing anxiety about potential vision loss.
Despite regular medical care, Faustina was told her condition could only be managed, not improved. Seeking a different path, she first came to Wellspring Clinic in 2018 after seeing her father’s positive results under Dr. Yu’s care. Though initially fearful of acupuncture, she quickly found the treatment gentle and supportive. With a personalized plan combining acupuncture, herbal formulas, and vision support supplements, she began to experience meaningful improvements, not only in her vision but also in her overall well being.
Years later, after a retinal hemorrhage during the pandemic, Faustina returned to the clinic in 2024. This time, her condition was more urgent, but so was her determination. With an updated and adaptive treatment approach, she began noticing changes within just one week. Her vision improved from seeing only 10 cm without glasses to recognizing objects and text from several feet away. Colors appeared brighter, and her visual clarity and depth perception increased.
Beyond physical changes, Faustina found reassurance in Dr. Yu’s attentive and compassionate care. Through ongoing treatment and guidance, she regained not only visual function but also confidence and hope. Today, she continues her journey with a renewed outlook, no longer defined by limitations, but empowered by progress and possibility.
“Every visit gives me more than just vision. It gives me peace of mind, courage, and the strength to believe in recovery.”
