Amblyopia is a disorder of the visual system that is characterized by poor or indistinct vision in an eye that is otherwise physically normal. Eye surgery, glasses or contact lenses are normally needed to correct this form of eye visual disorder.

Acupuncture is a procedure adapted from ancient Chinese therapy in which certain body areas are activated by the insertion of sharp, thin needles in order to relieve pain or produce regional anesthesia.

Findings of a new research suggest that just one five-minute acupuncture session could significantly put nervous dental patients at ease.

Details of the study
To come up with this finding, researchers from England and Denmark enrolled 16 women and four men with an average age of 40 from eight dental practices in UK.

All these individuals suffered from moderate to severe dental anxiety called odontiatophobia for between two to 30 years.

For the study, these individuals were given one five-minute session of the traditional Chinese therapy.
