| RETINOPATHY In a prospective cohort study of acupuncture for newly diagnosed                 idiopathic central serous retinopathy in 624 eyes, treatment courses                 of 10 days were repeated until the patient was improved. 86% had                 resolved within 3 months and five to six courses. However, this                 rate of improvement may be accountable by spontaneous recovery.                 (Lu & Friberg 1987).
