Many eye injections, never acupuncture.

Hi bassbabyI've had Chinese acupuncture many times in-between eye injections (not including loads of 3). I can't claim it works, but my vision seems sharper, stronger, and less prone to dryness afterwards. The reverse is noticeable when I go a few weeks without. I would have it done weekly, but I cannot afford the cost - £145 for x5 one hour sessions.

The research into acupuncture and MMD and AMM are favourable.

Hi Bluegreensea. Is that £145 for 5 sessions each session one hour long?

My acupuncturist charges £45 per session, reduced to £39 each if I book 5 in one go.

I have also posted about this Chinese medicine 'HB01 formula' in the past:

Many thanks for that, it's very interesting.

I tried acupuncture after I finished my sequence of Lucentis injections. The idea being to try and improve the residual blurring I had. I went many times to my acupuncturist but it’s fair to say it had no effect at all.

Not what you're looking for?
