Best's Disease
Best’s disease, also known as Best’s vitelliform macular dystrophy, is a hereditary (usually) form of progressive macular dystrophy.
Macular degeneration erodes the macula and central vision, but it’s often a sign of broader circulation, inflammation, and energy imbalances.

"Thanks to Dr. Rosenfarb, I can still read my little guy bedtime stories."
Macular degeneration was stealing Dave’s driving, kayaking instruction and bedtime stories with his newborn. After 18 months of micro-acupuncture, light therapy and at-home ACS, his vision’s clear enough to stay on the road, teach on the water, and read every night.
"After electro-acupuncture, the little patterns are gone, like my retinal cells woke up!"
At 80, scientist Melissa battled wet AMD, geographic atrophy and Lyme‑linked Bartonella. In just three visits over a year, Dr. Rosenfarb’s electro‑acupuncture and hydrogen therapy erased disruptive visual patterns, re‑awoke dormant retinal cells, and steadied her vision—prompting her to urge others: “don’t wait.”
"I wish we would have found Dr. Rosenfarb and Acuvision sooner!"
This is what we hear from so many of our patients, like Ray and his wife, Lori. Ray (retinitis pigmentosa) and Lori (central serous retinopathy) drive 8 hours twice-yearly for micro-acupuncture, red-light and hydrogen therapies. Ray’s color and contrast sharpened after his first visit and have stayed stable for 12 years; Lori regained brightness in one week and left pain-free.
Common questions we get asked about Macular Degeneration.
To stabilize, and when possible improve, retinal function by boosting circulation, reducing inflammation, increasing cellular energy, and supporting whole-body health rather than only monitoring the eyes.
Patients usually begin with an intensive two-week series; early gains in clarity or contrast often emerge within the first month, while more substantial improvements require several months of consistent care.
No. Integrative care is meant to complement conventional therapy, so you should continue any prescribed injections or drugs while adding acupuncture and lifestyle measures.
Yes, when performed by a licensed clinician trained in ophthalmic protocols, peri-ocular acupuncture uses ultra-fine needles under strict safety standards, making complications extremely rare.
Acupuncture is the core of Dr. Rosenfarb's protocol, but one powerful tool he also uses is the ACS-3000 — a microcurrent stimulation device that delivers gentle electrical frequencies directly to the retina and optic nerve to stimulate cellular repair and improve blood flow at the cellular level.
Many patients use the ACS-3000 at home between clinic visits to extend and reinforce their in-office results. It's non-invasive, painless, and takes just minutes per session.
Coverage varies; many plans reimburse part of medically necessary acupuncture, but comprehensive programs are often self-pay. The clinic can supply documentation for possible reimbursement.

Best’s disease, also known as Best’s vitelliform macular dystrophy, is a hereditary (usually) form of progressive macular dystrophy.
Central serous retinopathy is a condition that causes fluid to leak from the choroid layer into the macula, causing blurring or distortion of central vision.
Macular dystrophy is a rare genetic disorder that slowly damages the macula, the eye's center for sharp vision, resulting in progressive central vision loss.
Macular edema, also called cystoid macular edema, is swelling in the retina’s center that blurs detail; our goal is early detection & integrative care to help protect sight.
Macular pucker (epiretinal membrane) is a thin scar layer on the macula that contracts, wrinkling the retina and blurring or distorting central vision.
Myopic degeneration is severe nearsightedness that stretches and thins eye tissues, causing progressive vision loss and higher retinal detachment risk.
Pattern dystrophy is an inherited retinal disorder in which pigment collects in distinctive macular patterns, slowly causing central vision to blur.
Wet macular degeneration arises when abnormal retinal blood vessels leak beneath the macula, causing rapid distortion and loss of central vision.
