It could be an indication of myopia, a common condition that affects both children and adolescents.

From a TCM perspective, it is caused by Qi stagnation and deficiencies in the heart, liver, and kidney. These imbalances are believed to not only have an impact on the eyes but also your overall health. They may also be combined with other factors such as nutritional imbalance and lack of nourishment.

Have you been seeing small, dark spots, or shapes in your vision?

They are known as floaters, and Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) sees them as a sign of deficiencies in the liver and gallbladder.

The liver is crucial for the smooth flow of energy (Qi) and blood. When the liver is deficient, it can affect the gallbladder and its paired organ, leading to floaters.

Factors like stress, poor diet, high cholesterol, and alcohol can contribute to these imbalances.

TCM treatment focuses on nourishing the liver and gallbladder, often using herbal remedies, acupuncture, and dietary changes.

If you are dealing with floaters, visit us today for a holistic approach to eye health.

Don’t underestimate dry eyes! While eye drops may provide temporary relief, chronic dryness demands attention.

While dry eyes may seem like a minor condition, it can become chronic if left untreated! Without proper care, symptoms like discomfort, and sensitivity to light can persist and lead to corneal damage or infections.

In TCM, chronic dry eyes are often linked to liver and kidney imbalances. Disruptions in liver Qi flow can lead to dryness and other eye issues. Kidney Yin deficiency, often caused by ageing or excessive stress, is also commonly linked to chronic dry eyes.

Remember, early intervention is key!

Schedule a consultation with us today if you are experiencing symptoms of dry eyes.

Did you know that in TCM the eyes are deeply connected to the liver, kidneys, and heart?

According to TCM, the liver isn't just about detoxification, it also plays a crucial role in supporting our eye health. Deficiencies in liver blood may lead to blurred vision or dry eyes.

Similarly, the kidneys are essential for nourishing the eyes, particularly through kidney yin. Deficiencies in this vital essence can contribute to chronic eye issues, as well as, puffiness under the eyes.

And let's not forget the heart. Adequate presence of heart blood (心血) nourishes the eyes. While deficiencies may result in visual acuity issues.
