I took part in a mailing list discussion today. A number of people asked me to post the following message on my blog for easy reference. For context I will include the comments I was responding to first, followed by my response. (I'm editing parts of this for privacy and clarity.)

Abstract

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) Therapy in Glaucoma

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy is being explored as a possible treatment for glaucoma. Most of the research appears to be happening in Eastern Europe. Dr. Pawluk reported and commented on the following studies. Dr. Pawluk is a family physician who also promotes and sells PEMF devices. (The products he sells cost several thousand dollars.)
