- Step 3: Therapy consists of Three 30-minute micro-acupuncture treatment sessions per day based on your specific eye condition and schedule. Electro-acupuncture, scalp acupuncture and other therapies may also be incorporated.
- Step 4: Post-Treatment Visual Field and Acuity Tests to measure treatment results and determine ongoing treatment plans.
