- Abstract
-
The objective of this clinical study is to examine myopia (short-sightedness) from the
perspective of the cranial concept.
I have already gained positive experiences in treating patients of all ages with
ametropia. Based on this experience I have set myself the goal to examine the effectiveness
of specific osteopathic techniques for the orbit.
In conventional medicine ophthalmologists traditionally prescribe visual aids to correct
amblyopia.
But glasses are just an artificial compensation. The cause for amblyopia itself is not
treated. Once short-sightedness has developed the only thing that is undertaken is the
correction with optic lenses. Patients wear their prescribed glasses and usually arrange
themselves with the fact that their vision will deteriorate further.
If you consider this more closely you could come to the conclusion that visual dysfunctions
are incurable, for the conventional methods merely offer glasses as visual aids but
do not take into account the actual causes.
Thus I want to put forward the following considerations:
If you consider impaired vision as incurable disease you can only apply the current conventional
“treatment” methods.
But if you look at the impairment in the context of osteopathic dysfunction you can
achieve a change with the aid of osteopathic treatment.
Despite the fact that there are numerous kinds of visual impairment this paper will be
confined to one of the most frequent forms: short-sightedness (myopia). Another frequent
form is an irregular curvature of the cornea (astigmatism) which often occurs
hand in hand with myopia. - presented at
