Magnetic Therapy of Glaucoma
Author(s): Manfred Faehnle*
The term "glaucoma" is used to designate a variety of eye conditions that harm the optic nerve. It is the most typical
type of optic nerve injury that causes visual loss. Fluid typically accumulates in the front of the eye. By placing
pressure on the eye, this additional fluid gradually harms the optic nerve. The term "eye pressure" or "intraocular
pressure" refers to this force. Even when their eye pressure is normal, some people get glaucoma. Glaucoma that is
untreated or poorly managed can cause blindness and irreversible vision loss. In my paper I describe the magnetic
therapy of glaucoma, and I explain the physical processes underlying this therapy. .. View more»
