Figure 4

Effect of acupuncture and EA at BL1 and HX-EN7 on visual field. The visual field index (VFI) reduced 7% in the right eye (Right) and 2% in the left eye (Left); the mean defect (MD) reduced 3.07 dB in the right eye and 1.75 dB in the left eye in the sham group (SG). The VFI increased 4% in the right eye and left eye; the MD increased 1.08 dB in the right eye and 1.28 dB in the left eye in the acupuncture group (AG). The VFI increased 12% in the right eye and 6% in the left eye; the MD increased 5.63 dB in the right eye and 4.19 dB in the left eye in the electroacupuncture group (EG). Before, before the intervention of acupuncture or electroacupuncture; 6 M, 6 months after the intervention; D, the difference between B and 6 M.
