Introduction: Polypoidal Choroidal Vasculopathy (PCV) is an age-related macular degeneration subtype. Changes in choroidal flow, poor scleral outflow, breakdown of the retinal pigment epithelium, and leakage/breakdown of normal or abnormal retinal vessels are the pathophysiological mechanisms that are isolated or in combination associated with subretinal fluid accumulation. In Traditional Chinese Medicine the fluid accumulation could be linked to Spleen-Pancreas deficiency, caused by emotional factors and wrong diet.
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that PCV can be treated balancing the Yin, Yang, Qi and Blood energy, mainly the Spleen-Pancreas meridian and treating the energy deficiency in the Chakra energy centers.
Methods: One case report. In 2007, when the patient was 47 years old, she started noticing a gray spot in the central region of her right eye. The patient searched for a ophthalmologist and was diagnosed with Polypoidal Vasculopathy, after several exams. She performed treatment with laser and injections during 2009,2010 and 2011, intaking injections every 4 or 5 weeks, with no success. She started treatment with auricular acupuncture, chakras measurement ( all resulted in 1 of 8), and made use of crystal-based medication and homeopathy as well as Chinese dietary couselling.
Results: After one month of treatment no sub retinal fluid was found in her eyes,.
Conclusion: There is energy alterations related to the formation of sub retinal fluid in PCV. There is a necessity of correcting imbalances in the Spleen-Pancreas meridian using diet, auricular acupuncture and crystal-based medication and homeopathy to correct the energy imbalance in the chakras, to achieve better results in the sub retinal fluid accumulation control. This disease is not spefically linked to the eyes, but is a symptom of a systemic energy imbalance.
