Magneto Therapy in the Therapy of Glaucoma
Magneto Therapy in the Therapy of Glaucoma
Glaucoma is among the leading causes for blindness in the western world. Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) has been identified as the most important risk factor. However, some patients progress despite adequate IOP lowering while some subjects with elevated IOP never develop glaucoma. Other patients develop glaucoma although IOP measurements were always in the normal range. Therefore, other factors must be involved. In the last years, studies using MRI have been performed and evidence has accumulated that also changes in retrobulbar structures are present, in particular in the lateral geniculate nucleus and the visual cortex. However, these studies were limited by the low spatial resolution of the MRI instruments used.
The two principal pathophysiological mechanisms of glaucomatous process (hydromechanical and metabolic) determine the development of two trends in the treatment of glaucoma. One treatment modality is aimed at reduction of intraocular pressure, the other at therapy of hemodynamic and metabolic disorders. General and local drug therapy and physiotherapy, including electro- and laser stimulation of the retina and optic nerve and magneto-therapy, are used to correct these disorders. Modern ocular hypotensive agents are myotics and beta-adrenoblockers, adrenergic drugs, alpha 2-agonists, carboanhydrase inhibitors, some prostaglandins, osmotic agents. The progress attained in conservative therapy of glaucoma should by no means be overstated. In many cases only a combination of conservative and surgical methods of treatment helps preserve vision in a glaucoma patient.
During the following investigation we will demonstrate that the use of Magneto therapy Ocular (MTO) reverses the symptomatology in Glaucoma patients. The use of Eyeglass magnetic prevents the development of Glaucoma disease.During the following investigation we will demonstrate that the use of MTO reverses the symptomatology of Glaucoma patients; the use of seawater as drops prevents the development of Glaucoma disease and the combined use of MTO and seawater is an effective therapy against Glaucoma disease that will cure a grand percentage of the patients.
We will randomized 100 glaucoma patients and will treat them with MTO (group 1) and seawater drop (group 2) and combined group 3 and will compare results
