PEMF Therapy Beneficial For Treating Ocular Conditions
written by: Bruce Gelerter
There are many individuals who are concerned about ocular treatments for conditions such as hyphema,
glaucoma, and cornea burns. Most of these conditions require extensive treatment including surgical
procedures in order to improve them. There are quite a lot of people who experience these conditions
that are concerned about the treatments offered them from their medical provider and could benefit
from PEMF therapy.
Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Fields (PEMF) uses electrical energy to focus a series of magnetic pulses that
promotes tiny electrical signals to stimulate cellular repair through the injured tissue.
Pulsed electromagnetic fields treatment has proven results to help those with glaucoma. In a study on
this treatments' affect on hemodynamics of those with latent, initial and advanced glaucoma consisted
of 7 minute treatments per session for a total of ten sessions. More than 283 eyes were observed of
more than 150 patients which showed positive results and increased blood flow proving that PEMF eye
therapy is effective for those suffering with glaucoma.
In another study of extremely low frequency PEMF treatment for alkaline burns on corneas showed
positive results in healing and therapeutic results. The participants in this study were 56 rabbits that
were broken into four categorized groups. One group classified as ELF 2, which the therapy was for
thirty minutes, two times a day at a 2mT intensity. Another group, the ELF 5 group, which also received
30 minute treatment twice a day at a 5mT intensity. Medical therapy (MT) and controls concluded the
categories. The study, was a 14 day trial, where examination and digital photos of the corneas were
taken initially, and also on days 2, 7, and 14. Upon completion of the study, the rabbits were euthanized
and histopathology was to to evaluate the affected eyes. The clinical and histopathologic results were
compared in all four groups. The results showing that low frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields
treatment provided a significant less defect than those in the MT group, as well as, a lesser loss of
keratocyte. Thus proving that this noninvasive treatment for alkaline burns on corneas is a remarkably
effective method for therapeutic and healing purposes for eye conditions.
Another evaluation was performed using rabbit models who had well-defined hyphema for evaluating
the effects of PEMF therapy. The test included sixteen eyes, broken into two groups, being treated in
postoperative conditions with 10mT and 20mT on 4 separate days for sixty minutes per day. The study
also included a control group with hyphema alone and a group without hyphema but PEMF irradiation.
The resorption rate was recorded each day and histopathologic evaluation was also performed in this
study. The 10mT group showed reduced endothelial cell damage, as well as, a reduction in fibrotic clots.
Although the resorption time was not markedly different in any group, there was proof that PEMF eye
therapy has a positive influence on serious side effects and when used as an adjunctive treatment is
effective in ocular trauma and inflammation.
PEMF eye therapy is a proven, safe, noninvasive and effective treatment for ocular conditions. Those
individuals who want an alternative to conventional treatments have an alternative.
