RMM- those sites are working now.
Looking at them, wouldn't you think that they were firing an incredibly impressive list of percentages at you for something that is almost impossible to actually measure? And using long words to 'blind' you with impressive knowledge and statistics? For something that most medically trained people would call complete quackery? I would not trust them one inch myself- if western medicine cannot handle the problem, this is hardly going to achieve anything- sticking needles in your face is not going to handle serious eye problems.

IMO Acupuncture's chief success is making you 'feel' you have made progress. Without wishing to start a discussion on how effective acupuncture is, until mainstream western medicine positively accepts the benefits of acupuncture, and if it worked it would have proved itself by the year 2004, then better only to use it lightly, and not on the face or the eyes!
