What is AcuNova?
A Revolutionary Approach to Eye Health Support
AcuNova is a specialized acupuncture protocol developed by Danish acupuncturist Jon Boel, designed specifically to support eye health and visual function.
The Method
Unlike traditional acupuncture that often places needles directly near the eyes, AcuNova uses specific acupuncture points on the hands, feet, and forehead, and knees that correspond to eye function (according to Traditional Chinese Medicine principles. the research conducted by Dr. Boel.)
This specialized protocol was developed over decades of clinical observation and has been used to support thousands of patients worldwide seeking natural options for eye health.
The Approach
AcuNova treatments aim to support the body’s natural ability to maintain eye health by addressing underlying energetic imbalances that may affect visual function.
While we make no medical claims about curing diseases, many patients report improvements in visual comfort, clarity, and overall eye health during their treatment course.

What to Expect
AcuNova Treatment Course
AcuNova follows a structured protocol designed to give your eyes the best opportunity for improvement.
1
Initial Intensive Phase
Weeks 1–2
Treatment begins with an intensive evaluation phase designed to assess how your condition responds to AcuNova.
- Treatments are performed twice per day
- Five consecutive days per week (Monday–Friday)
- Two weeks total (20 treatments)
This phase helps determine whether AcuNova is appropriate for you
2
Clinical Re-Evaluation
After 20 treatments
After the initial phase, your response to AcuNova is carefully evaluated.
- Progress is reviewed based on clinical response
- This step determines whether continued care is recommended
- Not all patients move forward beyond this stage
3
Next Steps (If Appropriate)
Varies by Response
The next phase depends on how your condition responds.
- If improvement is observed, care may continue on a reduced weekly schedule
- If results are unclear, treatment may pause followed by re-evaluation
- If no improvement is seen, AcuNova is discontinued
This approach ensures care is appropriate and individualized.

Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about AcuNova eye acupuncture
Does AcuNova hurt?
AcuNova can cause some discomfort, especially during the initial treatments, since needles are placed in areas like the fingers and toes. Sensations may include pressure or brief soreness. While this can feel intense for some patients, it is closely monitored and typically short-lived. No needles are placed in or around the eyes.
How long before I see results?
Results vary by individual and condition. Some patients notice improvements during the initial treatment week, while others experience gradual changes during the 8-week rest period. The full benefits often become apparent after completing both treatment phases. We track progress through visual function assessments and patient-reported outcomes.
Will my insurance cover AcuNova treatments?
Coverage varies by insurance plan. Many plans cover acupuncture, but specific coverage for AcuNova eye acupuncture depends on your individual policy. We recommend contacting your insurance provider to verify coverage. We can provide documentation for out-of-network reimbursement if applicable.
Can I continue my regular eye medications and treatments?
Yes, absolutely. AcuNova is designed to complement your existing medical care, not replace it. You should continue all medications and treatments prescribed by your ophthalmologist. Always inform both your ophthalmologist and our clinic about all treatments you’re receiving.
