Introduction: Conjunctival Hyperemia (CH) is a reaction that appears as dilation and redness of the conjunctival vessels. In
Western medicine, the CH can be caused by viral or bacterial infections, as well as allergic reactions. The treatment in Western
medicine is based in symptom relief. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the eye is commanded by the energy
of the Liver and the redness linked to conjuctival hyperemia is due to heat retention. The objective is to demonstrate that
chronic conjunctival hyperemia is caused by systemic energy deficiency of the chakra centers, leading to formation of internal
heat manifesting in hyperemia in the conjunctival mucosa.
Case Reports: It includes two case reports. The first case is a 12-year-old boy, with conjunctival hyperemia since five years
old, making use of eye drops during years. He searched for treatment with auricular acupuncture with apex ear bloodletting,
Chinese dietary counselling, and chakras measurement that resulted in level 1 in 8 of energy for all the chakras. Second case is
a 55-year-old male; the redness in the eyes was noticed in the physical exam. The doctor suggested auricular acupuncture and
apex ear bloodletting, as well as measurement of the chakras meridians, which resulted all in 1 in 8. After the treatment with
crystal-based and homeopathy medication, Chinese dietary counselling and auricular acupuncture, the redness in the eyes
of the first patient gradually decreased diminishing the use of eye drops. The treatment with auricular acupuncture, apex ear
bloodletting and Chinese dietary counselling diminished the redness in the eyes of the second patient. The use of crystal-based
medications for the chakras was not initiated in the second case.
Conclusion: To better treat the chronic conjunctival hyperemia, it is important to search for the root of the problem, which
may be the deficiency of the chakras center meridians, not only treating the symptoms to relieve the discomfort.
