This paper summarizes Professor SUN Yuanzheng's academic thought and clinical experience in treating diabetic retinopathy (DR) with yuan-primary and luo-connecting meridian-regulating acupuncture. Professor SUN considers that the fundamental cause of DR lies in visceral dysfunction, with stagnation in the ocular collateral vessels and impairment of the mysterious orifices being the core pathogenesis. He proposes the treatment model of "regulating viscera, unblocking ocular collaterals, and opening mysterious orifices" based on yuan-primary and luo-connecting meridian-regulating acupuncture. Yuan-primary and luo-connecting points are used to balance qi, blood, yin, and yang of the viscera. Baihui (GV20) is stimulated with transcranial repetitive acupuncture to activate the yang qi of the governor vessel and invigorate qi in the twelve meridians, improving systemic microcirculation. Combining this with stimulation of ocular areas, Fengchi (GB20), and periocular points, the stasis in the ocular collaterals are cleared and the mysterious orifices are unblocked, addressing both the root and manifestations of DR.
