Abstract
This is a case study of two very different patients, both presenting with the same biomedical condition, age related macular degeneration (ARMD), with some similarities in their Chinese medicine patterns but quite different psycho-emotional characteristics. I believe these differences account for their very different responses to similar treatment protocols. On reflection, greater attention to liver qi stasis rather than liver blood deficiency may have been more appropriate for the second patient.
