Frequency Specific
Micro current and PEMF Stimulation for Vision Enhancement?.
The use of microcurrent stimulation to
heal eye problems
Last year we sent out this newsletter on Reported frequencies
for helping the eyes,,the response was amazing
With many people wanting to experiment with these frequencies
but not wanting or Able to invest in a rife unit to play
them,,we have developed a small portable unit with that
uses these
frequencies plus more,,and comes with the Eye mask
to deliver Frequency
Specific
Microcurrent Stimulation to the area around the eye..please
see Eyemate system near the bottom of this page,,
Hi there everyone,
Just a quick note to say "Thanks" for the Newsletters and to
let you know about my experience. I have had the EyeMate for about a
week and used it each day. Yesterday I jumped in the car and was halfway
to the grocery store when I realised I did not have my glasses on! Felt
no strain, wasn't squinting and everything was as clear as a bell! Will
keep you updated.

Eye Dis-ease and Macular degeneration - an epidemic
Macular Degeneration is an epidemic affecting over 13 million
Americans and is the
leading cause of blindness in developed countries. The
Senate Appropriations
Committee of the United States Congress has recognized
ARMD with the following
statement: "Age related macular degeneration is the
leading cause of severe visual
impairment and blindness in the United States. Most cases
develop over the age of
65, but certain hereditary conditions may cause it to develop
in younger individuals.
Persons over the age of 75 have a 30% chance of developing
ARMD; it rarely affects
anyone younger than 55 years old.
New Testimonial
From my mum for you
i began using the eye mate with the express purpose
of improving my eyesight to the point of ultimately
disposing of wearing prescription specs at all. the
journey is ongoing and easy! why i'm writing this
review of the appliance is to share the most unexpected
surprise i had one morning, maybe a month into using
the e.m. i looked out on the countryside that is
my world and everything i saw was brighter. that
was a surprise to me as i hadn't even noticed that
the colours of my world had lessened at all, yet
thre they were gloriously bright and sharp. Wow!
This improvement is a constant as the general level
of my eyes continues to improve. Carol Ryan 29/12/15
Caucasians develop it
more than persons of
darker colored skin because they have less pigment in
the retina, especially if they
have blue, gray, or green eyes. It affects men and women
equally. People who are
nearsighted (myopic) have a greater chance of developing
the condition as do people
who work or spend a lot of time out of doors and are
exposed to ultraviolet radiation
from sunlight.
Early Warning Signs of ARMD
Early signs of deteriorating retinal health include blurred
vision with close work,
seeing straight lines as wavy, and diminishing color
vision. The first change is a
lessening of sight as they look straight at things, like
print or faces or clocks. This may
be a dimming, a blurring, or actual ‘holes’ or
black spots in the vision. Extreme light
sensitivity and poor night vision also precede ARMD in
many cases. Light-to-dark
adaptation, the ability to find a seat in a movie theatre
is also apt to be very slow.
ARMD rarely leads to total blindness. Instead, worsening
symptoms include a loss of
central vision and a diminished ability to see things straight
ahead. Looking at a clock
or a face becomes more and more difficult. People with
ARMD come to rely more
and more on peripheral vision. Sometimes, in the early
stages, there are holes in
vision, called scotoma. These are areas where you cannot
see anything. Most people
with ARMD become unable to drive and are eventually declared
legally blind. Source Townsend

"Macular degeneration is a disorder worth preventing.
It’s a chronic and progressive disease leading
to irreversible vision loss. There are a multitude of
supplements on the market that provide nutritional
protection to the eye, based on sound research, that
can slow or prevent the disease. source
I want to tell you about something new.
I recently spoke with obert, a 78-year-old
male from Connecticut who has been under treatment
with MicroCurrent Stimulation (MCS), since
August 998. After one-and-a-half weeks treating
acupuncture points on the skin around his eyes with
an imperceptible current, he was able to read two
additional lines on the eye chart.source
Back in 1998 Dr. Kondrot wrote a book entitled "Microcurrent
Stimulation: Miracle Eye Cure" The use of microcurrent stimulation
to heal eye problems
The equipment and treatment has evolved since this book
was published and we hope this report will give you a
better understanding.
Dear Altered States,
I have been using the EyeMate twice a day since I received
it. I have resisted the urge to send this earlier
as I wanted to be sure about the things I have to
say. My eyesight has given me problems over a gradual
period for the last 10 years or so. Since using the
mask and unit I have noticed an improvement week
by week in the clarity of vision and also I can use
my eyes more(reading,knitting,sewing) for a longer
time without feeling strained.

The mechanism of microcurrent is felt to be the following;
1) !ncreases the circulation to the eye, 2) Stimulates the
function of the retinal cells and 3) Reduces scar tissue.
The effects of 10 to 500 microamps on the cellular level
have been documented by Dr. Cheng to increase ATP production
by 500%, increase protein synthesis by 70% and increase cell
transport by 40%. The history of microcurrent can be devided
into 3 distinct periods.
The data from this instrument was published
in the book Microcurrent Stimulation Miracle Eye Cure 2001
and the Townscend Letter (a peer review journal) in October
2002. This machine only had one channel and only 4 frequencies.
It was postulated that the 2 higher frequencies (292 HZ and
30 HZ) reduced inflammation and the two lower frequencies
(9.1 HZ and 0.3HZ) improved cellular function. This machine
delivered generic frequencies that were not specific to the
eye but could be used anywhere in the body.
The Author had the pleasure of
treating Sam Snead the late professional golfer with
tmicrocurrent
in Feb
2002.
In exchange
for 4 days of treatment Mr Snead gave me a few golf
lessons. What else did he tell me about my swing? “Dr.
Kondrot I would suggest cutting back over the next
year and then
QUIT!!”
The roots of
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) date back to the early
1900’s from Dr. Albert Abrams, who was the first physician
to use calibrated instruments capable of detecting the radiations
of living tissue. Dr. Abrams concluded that all matter radiates
electromagnetic energy and the characteristics of the radiation
depends upon the unique molecular structure. Modern FSM utilizes
hundreds of frequencies within the range of .01 to 999 Hz
with varying intensities of 20 to 600 micro
amps.
Each tissue in the body has an individualized
frequencies for example the retina has a frequency of 95
Hz and macula
137 Hz. Each type of pathology also has a frequency. Hemorrhage
has a frequency of 18 and edema is 14. FSM is “frequency
specific” because the frequencies of the tissue and
that of the pathology are “matched” with two
frequencies. For example hemorrhage in the macula the FSM
treatment would use 18 Hz and 137 Hz. This coupled frequencies
then matches the exact abnormalities that are present in
the damaged tissue. The desired effect is to neutralize those
frequencies that are in disharmony.
Microcurrent has been used in the following !
Improves blood flow
Stimulates cellular activity
Removes scar tissue
Reduces inflammation
Neuro-protective Effect
Balance Autonomic Nervous system
Treat Neuropathies
Treat depression
Detox
Stimulate stem cells
Lower intra-ocular pressure
reverse macular degeneration
Facial rejuvenation
correct musulo- skeletal problems

Hi ,
Here is my experience as promised re our phone conversation,
to let you know how I am finding the EyeMate.
I make
the
time
at
the
beginning of each day to use my unit. I find
that at the end
of the day the intense work I put into my study
is no longer leaving my eyes tired and unfocused-
even
able to read a page or two without my glasses without
my glasses :) or to enjoy reading for pleasure

Quick Test
for Vision
If you are able to read without making
any mistakes all of the letters top to the bottom of the
chart with both eyes, this means that you have what is
considered to be normal vision (maybe even better than
that), so you have no reason to worry. If you are having
trouble reading without a mistake not only the bottom line,
but the 2-3 of the ones above it, then you probably have
a near-normal vision which normally should not cause you
problems, but it is still a good to check your eyes. The
suggestion to go see a specialist is even more important
if you have a difference of two or three lines from the
chart that you have no trouble reading with one of your
eyes and the other. If you are having trouble properly
reading even higher lines in the chart or the difference
between what you can read with your left eye is even bigger
than with your right eye you must go and see a specialist
to have your vision examined. Source
MicroCurrent Stimulation (MCS),
In 1985, two optometrists, Drs. Leland Michael
and Merrill Allen of Rapid City,
South Dakota and Purdue University in Indiana, heard about
the work being done in
California for pain and retinopathies. They attended a three-
day MCS pain
management seminar presented in San Francisco by Dr. Rossen.
It was there that
they met with Dr. Halloran. Following the Rossen seminar,
the doctors visited the
Center in Santa Rosa and spent several days studying Dr.
Halloran's techniques.
Soon after, they returned to the Midwest and, together, began
a ten-year
clinical study of the treatment of age-related macular degeneration
(ARMD) using
MCS. In this early study they found that MCS stabilized the
degenerative process..
When Dr. Michael died of cancer in 1995, his work was taken
over by another
optometrist, Dr. John Jarding, who has done a considerable
amount of additional
research himself.
Dr. John Jarding continued the work of Dr. Michaels. He
began to study a
variety of Microcurrent frequencies and waveforms to determine
which parameters
would work best in regenerating the diseased macula. He
presented data on 400 eyes
treated with MCS. Seventy-eight percent of the eyes showed
from one to nine lines
improvement on the visual acuity chart, and over 50 percent
improved from two to
nine lines. In his study there were two patients with a
vein occlusion and swelling of
the macula. Both patients had a dramatic improvement in
their vision.
"Dr. Merill Allen and Dr. Leland Michael published
their preliminary study in 1993, on the rate of development
of ARMD in people using nutritional supplements and
simultaneous therapy with electronic stimulation. Dr.
John Jarding reported his results in 1997 after treating
thirty-five macular degeneration patients with a controlled
electronic stimulation applied to eight points around
the eye - all thirty-five patients reported an improvement
in their vision. The Macular Degeneration Foundation
in the USA has begun a national clinical trial to look
at the effects of electronic stimulation and ARMD."
One patient
improved from 20/50 vision to 20/15. The second patient,
who could only see
fingers at a distance of one foot, was able to read the
20/200 line. There was one
patient in the study with a macular hemorrhage who showed
a significant
improvement of vision from being able only to count fingers
to a vision of 20/100.
Damon Miller, MD who is also a naturopath and acupucturist
has reviewed his
results using Microcurrent Stimulation in the treatment
of Stargardt's Disease, retinitis
pigmentosa and other degenerative retinal disease. His
results indicate that of 120
patients treated, 83% showed improvement of greater then
or equal to two lines of
visual acuity in one or both eyes."
Lower frequencies of the Rife unit energize tissues
like a trickle charger. Energy moves in slowly,
not resulting in a discharge to surrounding tissues,
but a recharging of the degenerated cells using the eye mask.
If the cells can be recharged before they die, they can be
restored to working capacity.
Here is an amazing figure. The macula contains
100 million times more pixels, per unit area,than a high-resolution
computer monitor! Those
cells (rods and cones) are working at breakneck
speed sending electrical impulses to the brain. Each
impulse reduces the charge on the cell membrane. If
not recharged, the cell will lose its function, become
disabled and eventually die. Imagine you’re running
up a hill and breathing hard. If the hill gets steeper
or the air thinner, it will take you longer between
each step. The same recovery time applies to each
cell doing a similar aerobic.
MCS delivers electricity in
millionths of an ampere, the physiological current
of the body.
It
can
increase ATP (energy chemical of your cells) by 500%,
protein synthesis by 70%, and cell transport of molecules
by 40%. It’s a fantastic source of free electrons
(energy)
to your cells. Frequency
Specific MicroCurrent Stimulation (FSMS) is an
improvement that makes quantum leaps in MCS effectiveness.
MCS delivers a tiny current
to a specific area. In biological systems, we often see that
less is better.
Over time, the current widens its path until the electrons
of the current pass through the eyes in addition
to the skin. All cells of the body must make and
use an energy chemical named ATP, which stores
and releases almost all the energy the cells need for
life functions. Cell functions include making proteins,
electrical transmission, maintaining the all
important electrical charge on the cell membrane, and
purging the cell itself of waste products.
“ATP fuels cellular garbage trucks,” says
opthamologist Edward Kondrot, a designer and
researcher of MCS. With free-radical processes of
aging, UV energy, and additional assaults from
improper nutrition, our eyes need protection. What is
more, with aging, the ability of cells of the macula to
manufacture ATP wanes. Cells conserve energy by
maintaining only the most critical functions, like
maintaining membrane integrity. (Think of patching
up holes in your windows to keep the cold out.) The
cellular garbage trucks, which are not critical for the
cell to survive in the moment, become idle. Waste
products accumulate and, over time, the cells can die.
Microcurrent
Stimulation and Retinal Disease
"Grace Halloran was
a pioneer in designing and conducting the first studies
on the efficacy of Microcurrent Stimulation in reversing
retinal damage. In 1983, one of her life dreams was
realized, when with a grant from Dr. Joel Rossen's
MicroStim Corp, she opened The Center for Eye Health
Education in Sonoma County. The Center operated from
1983 to 1985. Here the first study to evaluate the
effects of MCS on degenerative retinal disease was
undertaken. Dr. Joel Rossen donated the equipment used
in this first study on the effectiveness of Microcurrent
Stimulation in treating serious eye disorders.
In her first study, one hundred
fourteen patients were treated and independently
monitored at the center for various retinal conditions.
Dr. Halloran's clinic provided a number of therapies,
and all patients received the MCS therapy that
she had developed with Dr. Rossen. The results:
Of the 114 patients that were treated, 18 patients
had macular degeneration, and16 showed improvement.
Seventy-eight patients had Retinitis Pigmentosa,
and 62 showed improvement. The other 18 patients
had various retinopathies and 16 improved.
Of the
ones who did not demonstrate any improvement,
14 stayed the same, and 2 continued to lose visual
acuity, although only slightly. An interesting
point about the 14 patients who stayed the same
is that all fourteen of those patients had been
diagnosed with early retinopathies. None of them
presented with any loss of visual acuity at the
eginning of the study. Hence, they also showed
normal visual acuity at the end of the two-year
study at a time when many of them would be expected
to lose vision."
A Belgian study demonstrated that MCS
increases ATP concentrations in cells, and thus
increased the ability of the cells to rid themselves of
waste products. These observations led to very
recent research into the effects of MCS on macular
degeneration, the disease which, heretofore, had good
but limited results with only nutritional therapy.
Hi Everyone,
I appreciate receiving my unit so quickly. I do not
have any identified "problems" with my
eyes. However the tiredness and the headaches were
becoming more noticeable as my workload increased.
I use the EyeMate during my lunch break and at the
end of my work day do not feel as though I need to
bathe my eyes with cold water to relieve the sensation
of heat and tiredness. This has not only helped my
eyes but also my general sense of well being . So
i would just like to pass these comments onto you
and say thanks.
G.van Haussen Netherland
In his book, Miracle Eye Cure, Dr. Kondrot
reports he has seen impressive results and if the patients
can see the big E on the eye chart (vision 20/400 or
better), the prognosis for visual improvement is very
good, with 70 percent of patients making improvement.
Persons with worse starting vision will still see improvement,
but it’s likely to be slower, and
require more treatments.
How does MCA help those cells so effectively?
Currently, there are several proposed mechanisms. It
enhances glucose uptake for greater energy production.
Nerve conduction velocity (speed of running) is
increased. Arterial muscles are relaxed, allowing
greater blood flow. Protein synthesis (cellular regeneration)
is increased, and the recovery time for its “
exercise,” electrical impulses, is shortened. Analogy
to physical exercise — you get a permanent “second
wind” going up that hill.
Around 1993, Dr. John Jarding added 34 new patients
to his original group that began in 1985, which had 25
patients. Each of these patients had dry macular degeneration.
The sessions were performed several times per week. It
is not known how many times a day. The results of these
34 dry stage macular degeneration patients was an 82%
improvement by at least one line in at least one eye
on a Snellen E Chart.
To date, Dr. Kondrot
reports , anecdotal evidence is high for
the effectiveness of MCS, manufacturers cannot make
claims until proper “double-blind placebo controlled
studies” are completed to the satisfaction of the
FDA. Such studies are underway. However, because the
machines are available and relatively inexpensive for
such a debilitating and preventable condition, you
should know about it so that you need not risk further
damage to your vision waiting for the FDA’s
stamp of approval.
There is the possibility that MCS could help
the age-related need for reading glasses (presbyopia).
While little work has been done on that condition, it
affects virtually everyone over 50 on some level. I am
no exception and will be trying MCS for my documented
presbyopia and will be reporting my
progress back to you.
Gidday
Mike from Aussie :) how are you both ?
Have been using my pinhole glasses religiously as you
advised and there has definitely
been an improvement in my eyesight,,things were definitely
starting to get darker.
i received my Eye mate 6 weeks
ago ,, i don't know if its placebo :) and i don't
care, the darkness is
getting lighter
and my headaches have completely disappeared,,so
thanks guys,,will keep you informed

Frequency specific MicroCurrent Stimulation
When Dr. Kondrot was instructed on, and began
using frequencies specifically targeting eye tissues (such
as arteries, nerves, etc.), his results took a quantum leap.
My dad has macular degeneration. Right in front of me,
last February, he was able to read three additional lines
on the reading chart in just minutes.Source
Frequency Specific MicroCurrent Stimulation (FSMS)
How can Frequency Specific MicroCurrent Stimulation (FSMS)
work so fast? Electrical medical pioneer Dr. Robert Becker
explained
in his book The Body
Electric. Electricity flows through your body constantly.
The nerves conduct an AC current. But the membrane
around your nerves, called the perineurium, conducts a
DC microcurrent. The perineurium’s electrical system
transmits information throughout your body and creates
healing. For instance, Becker found that in amphibians, a
severed limb could regenerate if the perineurium were
left intact (even if the nerve itself was severed)."
Treatment
suggested by some of the Above Eye Drs on
both eye;s using 4 frequency settings of
292 HZ, 30 Hz, 9.1
Hz and
0.3
Hz. 8 points were treated with each frequency
for 12 seconds located along the
periorbital area. 4 points above the eye and 4 points
Below,,these frequecies are very easy to use and the time
simple to set using the latest Rife pro,,with the laterst
Frequency Specific MicroCurrent eye contact mask
Patients were instructed to carefully monitor the current
at each treatment point. The
current was slowly turned up until a sensation was produced
and then it was turned
down until all sensation of electricity subsided. All treatments
were conducted at this
sub-threshold level.
After the initial 8 treatments using these frequencies,
patients were instructed used the frequency protocol twice
a day for 5/7
days a week.
Now PEMF & Electric
Stimulation for Vision Enhancement
Combine
the best
"Dr. Garry Gordon, President
of Gordon Research, states that PEMF will work
synergistically
to help increase the effects of microcurrent."
"The influence of pulse electromagnetic field on the
hydrodynamics of the eye in open-angle glaucoma has been
studied using the method and the device suggested at
the Filatov Institute. Ten session in a total. Observations
over 150 patients (283 eyes) with latent, initial and
advanced glaucoma have shown that the usage of pulse
electromagnetic field exerts influence on the hydrodynamics
of the eye in open-angle glaucoma; stimulates the rise
of aqueous outflow and production, the reduction of the
Becker’s coefficient. At the latent stage of the
disease, normalization of outflow was recorded in 25%
of cases, at the initial and advanced stages–in
17.8% and 16.0% of cases, respectively. The investigations
carried out allow to recommend the mentioned method for
a complex treatment of open-angle glaucoma. Tsisel’skii
IuV."
"Glaucoma is actually a group of eye
diseases that are often caused by increased pressure
inside
the
eye. Unless the pressure is controlled, it can cause
damage to the optic nerve and a loss of vision. In
the early stages, it’s difficult to determine
whether you have glaucoma; it’s virtually symptom-free.
As the condition progresses, side vision may begin
to fade. If left untreated, the field of vision will
continue to narrow and blindness results."
"Another group studied the
influence of PEMF on the flow of fluid of the eye in POAG.
They used a rectangular pulse form at a frequency of 50
Hz, 8.0-8.5 mT (80-85 gauss) intensity. The duration of
the procedure was 7 minutes for a total of 10 sessions.
150 patients (283 eyes) were evaluated. Latent, initial
and advanced glaucoma all benefited from the use of PEMFs.
There was an increase in the amount and flow of fluid through
the outflow canals of the front part of the eye [anterior
chamber]. In the latent stage of glaucoma, outflow became
normal in 25% of cases. At the initial and advanced stages
17.8% and 16.0% of cases, respectively, became normal."

Personal Experience
Two years ago i was diagnosed with two small cateracts
in the left eye, last week i had more testS done
and they found the two cateracts had gone completely,
i had uses the PEMF
pulser for 5 mins a day on each eye
The eyes felt much better after the PEMF pulser
more relaxed and lubricated,i now wonder if i had
use of the new eye mask whether the improvement
might have been faster PEMF
pulser here
A PEMF system was used in the treatment of 283 eyes
(177 patients) with macular damage of the retina. The
treatment had a positive influence on the pathologic
process in the eye, with stability of the benefit after
treatment. In 152 eyes, visual acuity remained unchanged,
improved in 131 (46%). Stabilization of the process was
confirmed by objectively measured improvement indices.
In 72 eyes, the results of treatment were followed up
for 6 yr, confirming the effectiveness of this method
of treatment. Long-term observations have found the need
to repeat the course of treatment every 3-5 months "
Now Dr. Oz is raving about this new therapy not only
can it help relieve pain but also improve your eyesight!
I am not the only one stating that PEMF will change
the practice of medicine. Dr OZ makes it very clear
in his 10 minute utube video.We now offer this treatment! Pemf thereapy
"Indirectly, other actions of PEMFs on the eye can be
taken as demonstrating repair and reduction of inflammation
in the eye in general as well as specifically in glaucoma.
Fifteen patients with surface infections of the cornea
due to a foreign body in one eye were treated with PEMF (50 gauss, 50 Hz) for 9 minutes and the topical antibiotic
gentamycin before and after removal of the foreign bodies.
This treatment promoted suppression of the inflammatory
reaction of the eye and accelerated corneal tissue regeneration.
This study establishes that PEMFs can accelerate healing
of not only inflammation but also eye tissue damage.

of magnetotherapy of the anterior chamber in a traumatic
infected erosion of the cornea. Antibiotiki. 1982 Oct;27(10):774-5.
"
The EYE mask acts in a similar way to
the video
"While most of our emphasis has been on the use
of PEMFs, based on the studies we found, I also reviewed
a study
on the effect of a constant magnetic field (about 200
Gauss) on the fluid flow parameters of the eye. This
was in 20 healthy controls and 29 patients with glaucoma.
The magnet was applied to the external
corner of the orbit so that the optical axis of the eye
within the center of the magnetic field. Duration of
exposure was 3, 5, or 10 minutes. Exposure to the magnetic
field caused a decrease of the intraocular pressure and
decrease of the rate of tear secretion. The changes were
more pronounced after 5-min exposure, while 10-min exposure
did not cause significant changes in the fluid flow properties
of the eye. From this study there
appears to be benefit from even using magnets
of the right circular configuration.

L. N. Changes in the hydrodynamic parameters of the eye
after exposure to a constant magnetic
field. Vestn Oftalmol (1):13-15, 1981."
Showing the magnetic pulse from latest pemf stim eye
mask
"PEMFs have been shown in several research studies to
have a positive impact on the glaucoma process, from
potential to initial to later stages. Greater benefits
are expected to be seen in earlier stages. PEMFs affect
the flow of fluids in the eyes and therefore the intraocular
pressures by decreasing inflammation, inducing the right
kind of nitric oxide, improving circulation, particularly
to the retina, and by probably also helping to stimulate
repair of the nerve damage in the retina.
While most of the studies were short term, they still
showed significant benefits to improving the function
of the eye and slowing retinal damage and visual loss.
I would recommend that anybody using PEMFs to treat their
pre—glaucoma, increased ocular pressure and vision
loss related to glaucoma, should do so daily for extended
periods of time until it can be established that the
pressures and the visual changes are stable for at least
4 to 6 months before discontinuing or reducing the frequency
of PEMF treatments." Dr Pawluk
Electrical
And PEMF Stimulation for the purpose of enhancing limited
vision has undergone enormous scientific advances during
the past
10 years. The amount of evidence for restoring visual function
in various diseases using Electrical
And PEMF Stimulation is rapidly
increasing.
A group
studied the influence of PEMF on the flow of
fluid of the eye in POAG. They used a squarewave
pulse form at a frequency of 50 Hz, 8.0-8.5 mT
(80-85 gauss) intensity. The duration of the
procedure was 7 minutes for a total of 10 sessions.
150 patients (283 eyes) were evaluated. Latent,
initial and advanced glaucoma all benefited from
the use of PEMFs. There was an increase in the
amount and flow of fluid through the outflow
canals of the front part of the eye [anterior
chamber]. In the latent stage of glaucoma, outflow
became normal in 25% of cases. At the initial
and advanced stages 17.8% and 16.0% of cases,
respectively, became normal. The authors concluded
that they could recommend this method of treatment
of open-angle glaucoma.
Tsisel’skii
IuV. Oftalmol Zh. 1990;(2):89-92. The effect
of a pulsed electromagnetic field on ocular hydrodynamics
in open-angle glaucoma.
Research
evaluated the possible mechanisms for improvement
seen in retinal function. The effectiveness of
PEMF therapy is not the same in all patients.
The benefits from PEMF treatment for 15-30 min
usually last only for 8-10 days, consistent with
the time to renew rod pigments in the retina.
In addition, visual examination of the back of
the eye after electromagnetic treatment reveals
dilation of the capillaries. Hence, one conclusion
is that the favorable effect of PEMF therapy
was from improvement of microcirculation. They
found that retinal circulation gradually increased
from arterioles to capillaries and venules. It
appears that the authors concluded that the conditions
for retinal rod pigment restoration in the central
area of the retina are less favorable than in
its peripheral areas. Therefore, the therapeutic
effect in patients with loss of vision in the
central area of the retina will occur after a
greater number of PEMF stimulation sessions.

visual acuity remained unchanged, improved in

In 72 eyes, the results of treatment were followed
up for 6 yr, confirming the effectiveness of
this method of treatment. Long-term observations
have found the need to repeat the course of treatment
every 3-5 months (within a year) to prevent progression
of the damage. This study demonstrates the need
for longer-term treatment to get sustainable
results. When one considers the length of time
it takes to regenerate neural tissues, this long-term
personal, home use approach makes sense.

Since
the general circulation and pumping of the heart
affects circulation through the whole body, it
is important to balance and restore the overall
circulation, not just the circulation of the
eyes. Also, glaucoma tends to be more common
in people as they age. So, central general circulation,
diastolic and pumping functions of the heart,
reactivity of the heart muscle, microcirculation
and biological age of the cardiovascular system
were studied in 66 elderly patients with hypertension
and ischemic heart disease. The patients received
systemic magnetic therapy which produced a protective
effect against aging as shown by improved microcirculation,
heart muscle function, and central circulation.
PEMF and
Circulation
"PEMF treatment was created and
applied to help cosmonauts' blood circulation,
blood oxygenation, and prevent calcium
depletion at the Russian MIR Space Station.
Since then, PEMF systems have been developed
to aid in the healing process of common
conditions"
Twelve weeks of PEMF therapy improved
endothelial vascular function and reduced
BP in hypertensive participants. This result
may indicate that PEMF therapy can be a
potential non-pharmacological and non-invasive
strategy to manage vascular function and
BP in cohorts with peripheral vascular
disease as well as hypertension. Source

Indirectly,
other actions of PEMFs on the eye can be taken
as demonstrating repair and reduction of inflammation
in the eye in general as well as specifically
in glaucoma. Fifteen patients with surface infections
of the cornea due to a foreign body in one eye
were treated with PEMF (50 gauss, 50 Hz) for
9 minutes and the topical antibiotic gentamycin
before and after removal of the foreign bodies.
This treatment promoted suppression of the inflammatory
reaction of the eye and accelerated corneal tissue
regeneration. This study establishes that PEMFs
can accelerate healing of not only inflammation
but also eye tissue damage.

While
most of our emphasis has been on the use of PEMFs,
based on the studies we found, I also reviewed
a study on the effect of a constant magnetic
field (about 200 Gauss) on the fluid flow parameters
of the eye. This was in 20 healthy controls and
29 patients with glaucoma. The magnet (a ring
with internal diameter of 2.2 cm and external
diameter of 5.1 cm) was applied to the external
corner of the orbit so that the optical axis
of the eye within the center of the magnetic
field. Duration of exposure was 3, 5, or 10 minutes.
Exposure to the magnetic field caused a decrease
of the intraocular pressure and decrease of the
rate of tear secretion. The changes were more
pronounced after 5-min exposure, while 10-min
exposure did not cause significant changes in
the fluid flow properties of the eye. From this
study we do not know how frequently these exposures
should happen and what the long-term benefits
would be expected to be. Nevertheless, there
appears to be benefit from even using static
magnets of the right circular configuration.

Summary
PEMFs have been shown in several research studies to have a positive impact
on the glaucoma process, from potential to initial to later stages. Greater
benefits are expected to be seen in earlier stages. PEMFs affect the flow
of fluids in the eyes and therefore the intraocular pressures by decreasing
inflammation, inducing the right kind of nitric oxide, improving circulation,
particularly to the retina, and by probably also helping to stimulate repair
of the nerve damage in the retina.
While
most of the studies were short term, they still
showed significant benefits to improving the
function of the eye and slowing retinal damage
and visual loss. I would recommend that anybody
using PEMFs to treat their pre—glaucoma,
increased ocular pressure and vision loss related
to glaucoma, should do so daily for extended
periods of time until it can be established that
the pressures and the visual changes are stable
for at least 4 to 6 months before discontinuing
or reducing the frequency of PEMF treatments.
While
very weak PEMFs may produce a benefit, these
have not been studied. Most of the magnetic field
strengths studied ranged from 9 to 330 Gauss
(8-33 milliTesla). there was a lot of variation
within these the frequencies.
I
don’t
see a reason why PEMFs cannot be used with medical
therapies for glaucoma, perhaps reducing the
need for laser treatment and/or surgical procedures.
It may be challenging to get conventional doctors
to agree to allow an individual to use magnetic
therapy as a sole approach. However, since glaucoma
is typically a gradually progressive process,
and there is significant inter-individual variation
in response, not only to magnetic fields but
also to other therapies, initiating PEMF therapies
as a sole therapy with close monitoring is probably
worthwhile
