Editorial Review:
For the past ten years, Andy Rosenfarb has successfully used acupuncture and Chinese medicine to treat a wide range of eye conditions. His treatments include moxibustion techniques, tuina (massage), microcurrent stimulation, Chinese herbs, and qigong exercises, along with “essential acupuncture” where essential oils are placed on acupuncture points. The culmination of his work—which includes a recent pioneering study involving metabolic testing–is this handbook for healing the kinds of conditions too often considered almost impossibly challenging or irreversible.The first half of Healing Your Eyes with Chinese Medicine explains Traditional Chinese Medicine and its perspective on the eyes, which is based on the idea that the eyes and the brain work in tandem, not isolation. The second half focuses on proven methods derived from Rosenfarb’s practice, including nutritional, supplemental, and lifestyle adjustments. Individual chapters cover eye disorders such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, retinitis pigmentosa, and many more. This book is intended as a practical manual to help readers understand their eyes and vision more comprehensively, and to learn new, affordable ways for retaining the precious gift of sight.

Rating:  - Not so much for laypeople, but gives a LOT of hope.
I've got an old friend Andy who taught me to play poker years ago. He recently was stricken with age-related macular degeneration. Right when he reached his retirement years and can play a lot of poker - he can't anymore.
My "new" friend Andy - the guy who wrote this book - gave me a lot of hope for my old friend. As he said to me in an email:
"FYI, no one is too far gone in my experience. I've had some crazy success cases of people whom I thought would not get any results. ... Read More
Rating: - Wish I had read this book in acupuncture school....
Another reviewer wrote that this book is not geared towards practitioners, I disagree as I was able to immediately use much of the information in my clinic.
I graduated from Pacific College of Oriental Medicine in 2002 and have been fortunate to operate an extremely busy Chinese Medicine practice since early 2003. I also participate in NIH funded research on Chinese Medicine through UMDNJ (University of Medicine and Dentistry, NJ). Over 90% of my patients are "medical throw-aways" who come ... Read More
Rating: - Excellent book for patients and practitioners alike
This book is written in a way that both patients and practitioners alike will be able to get a lot out of it. The layout is clear, and it is very readable.
I was drawn into the book from the beginning. Even though I am very well acquainted with the basics of Chinese medicine and the organ functions, they are presented an a different context in this book. Everything is given within the context of the eyes and eye diseases. This allowed me to take the knowledge that I had on treatment principles ... Read More
Rating: - A Must Have Book for Practitioners
This book helped to fill the gap of this specialty. Andy gave descriptions of terms I have never heard of before that allowed me to appreciate it even more instead of hearing all the same 'ole boring descriptions/definitions that many others use or copy from other books.
The chapters were well organized and well suited for the beginner who wants to understand the organ functions pertaining to Chinese medicine and how a practitioner will treat eye disorders.
I now know what "snail-shell moxa" ... Read More
Rating:  - Hope for the blind
It's great what Andy is doing with TCM in the treatment of eye disorders, but the book is another story. It is not really geared to practitioners so he doesn't go into any detail regarding his system of "micro-acupuncture". On the other hand he gives formula names, herbs, and dosages which are great for a student of acupuncture. He also gives unique info on the use of essential oils.
