Believe it or not, eye massages can actually help improve your vision. They improve blood circulation around your eyes which can in return help your sight. We are so grateful for your continued trust in us.

Did you know that Lee Huang is certified in Micro Acupuncture? So what is Micro Acupuncture you may ask yourself, Micro Acupuncture treats degenerative eye diseases such as Macular Degeneration (MD), Diabetic Retinopathy, and Dry Eyes among others.

Lee Huang worked as an ophthalmologist and eye surgeon for more than a decade in China before she came to the US. Lee is devoted to helping patients suffering from severe eye conditions and has spent the past ten years seeking out specialized training in traditional Chinese Medicine Ophthalmology.

It is difficult enough for someone to learn that you have an eye condition, but what is worse is to deal with a healthcare professional who will tell you that there are basically no options besides "living with it"... Traditional medicine and/or health professionals may not be able to find treatment for certain eye conditions but Micro Acupuncture can help.

If you, and/or someone you know, are suffering from vision problems and may have not find any answers through other health professionals, give us a call.
