Optic atrophy results mostly from affection by exopathic wind pathogen, insufficiency of Qi and Xue(blood) or hyperactivity of the liver-yang. We choose Qiuhou(EX-HN 7), Jingming(BL1 ), Taiyang(EX-HN 5 ) and Fengchi(GB 20) as the main acupoints and combine other auxiliary points according to different syndromes. For example, Hegu(LI 4) and Waiguan(TE 5 ) are supplemented for affection by exopathic wind pathogen, Qihai(CV 6), Zusanli(ST 36), Xuehai(SP 10) and Guang-ming(GB 37) for insufficiency of Qi and Xue, and Guanshu(BL 18), Baihui(GV 20), Taixi(KI 3),Sanyinjiao(SP 6) and Guangming(GB 37) for hyperactivity of the liveryang. When Qiuhou(EX-HN 7), Jingming(BL 1 ) and Fenchi(GB 20) punctured, the need1ing direction, angle and depth should be controlled very appropriate for achieving good therapeutic effect.
