Abstract

|
Acupuncture is recognized as a component of alternative medicine and is increasingly used worldwide. Many studies haveshown the various effects of acupuncture around the eyes for ophthalmologic or nonophthalmologic conditions. For ophthalmologicconditions, the effect of acupuncture on dry eye syndrome, glaucoma, myopia, amblyopia, ophthalmoplegia, allergicrhinoconjunctivitis, blepharospasm, and blepharoptosis has been reported. Recently, several studies on dry eye syndromehave been reported and are in the spotlight. However, given the variety of study designs and reported outcomes of periocularacupuncture, research is still inconclusive, and further studies are required. In addition, although a systematic and reliablesafety assessment is required, to the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports of a literature review of ocular complicationsresulting from periocular acupuncture. This review collected cases of ocular injury as severe adverse events frompreviously published case reports of periocular acupuncture. A total of 14 case reports (15 eyes of 14 patients) of adverseevents published between 1982 and 2020 were identified. This review article provides a summary of the reported cases andsuggestions for the prevention and management of better visual function prognosis.
