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. 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.
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 an ophthalmologist and was diagnosed with polypoidal vasculopathy after several exams. She
performed treatment with laser and injections during 2009, 2010 and 2011 in taking injections every four or five 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 counselling. 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 subretinal fluid accumulation control. This
disease is not specially linked to the eyes, but is a symptom of a systemic energy imbalance.
