If you are new to our web site and would like to learn more about alternative therapies for eye disease I would suggest taking time to view our special Webinar , The 10 Essentials to Save Your Sight!If you would like a personal touch I would be happy to do a consultation with you to discuss your eye condition. I would need a copy of the last eye exam with photographs. You can contact the office at info@healingtheeye.com to schedule this.
We also offer two treatment programs. Dr. Kondrot’s Complete One Year Program and a Fast Track Program to begin Microcurrent and other alternative methods to improve your vision. The Fast Track Program is a home base program so travel to Phoenix is not necessary.Vitamins that Dr. Kondrot recommends!The office can give you more info on this 352-588-0477/ 800-430-9328To your good health and clear vision!
Last week I treated a patient from Colorado who lives at 5000 feet who is suffering from macular degeneration. I have another patient who lives at 6500 feet in the White Mountains of Arizona who also has macular degeneration.. Several questions came into my mind. What are the affects low oxygen saturations at this altitude? Is this contributing to the development of macular degeneration? Will increasing his oxygen saturation help improve his vision? Could Hyperbaric oxygen treatment help his condition.
Oxygen is essential to good health and low oxygen saturation to tissue will cause disease. It is well documented in the medical literature that people with low oxygen saturation will have a greater incidence of macular degeneration. This includes living at high altitude, sleep apnea, tobacco abuse and chronic pulmonary disease. All of these conditions will reduce the oxygen saturation to the body.
Any condition that reduces the oxygen saturation needs to be corrected. All of our patients who are being treated for macular degeneration and other eye problems are evaluated for conditions that can reduce the oxygen saturation. Low oxygen saturations are more common at night especially with patients with sleep apnea, lung disease and chronic sinus infections. A simple test is done at night called a Nocturnal Pulse Oximetry. This measures oxygen saturations through out the night. Low values are a call to action to evaluate and treat the reason.
What are the affects at high altitude? At 5000 feet there is a 20% reduction in oxygen saturation, at 10,000 feet a 30% reduction. This reduction in oxygen saturation can be a problem especially if there are other conditions which are effecting the utilization of oxygen.
