Electrical Stimulation Therapy Can Help Retinitis Pigmentosa Patients

electrical stim machineA new study of how electrical stimulation therapy (EST) can potentially help retinitis pigmentosa patients has recently been presented.

The study, performed by Okuvision GmbH and published in Investigative Ophthalmology & Visual Science, involves stimulating the eye’s retina with small amounts of electrical current.  According to the source of this story, Medical News Today, “the findings from this study emphasize that electrical stimulation of the retina liberates growth factors which may be able to delay retinal degeneration.” Source: https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/224224.php

We offer a microcurrent stimulation device that many patients have found improves eye conditions including macular degeneration by stimulating energy production (ATP) in the retina, improving circulation and reducing waste build-up.

We believe that vision health is intimately connected to overall mental, physical and spiritual health. Therefore we encourage people to look at their overall lifestyle and diet as part of keeping healthy vision and reducing the risk of eye disease onset. This includes diet, regular exercise, and management of daily stress. If one has health issues such as high blood pressure, a thyroid imbalance, any autoimmune disease and/or are on medication(s), these possible contributions to eye disease should considered when working with your health care professional.
