A destination for integrative, holistic eye care.
Founded by Dr. Saikumar Gandapodi, Netra Eye Institute is one of its kind — offering a fully integrative model of care rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda. Located in central New Jersey, we are committed to natural, integrative, and holistic eye care approaches for chronic and complex eye conditions.
Several herbs from the Materia Medica of Chinese Medicine and Ayurvedic Medicine contain potent molecules with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that support ocular health.
Ayurveda, the science of longevity, includes Shalakya Tantra — a specialized branch focused on the diagnosis and management of ocular disorders.
Acupuncture can help reduce intra-ocular pressure (IOP) and increase ocular blood flow, supporting the retina and the optic nerve.
Evidence-informed biomedical science guides how we apply time-tested holistic therapies — combining a modern understanding of ocular physiology with Traditional Chinese Medicine and Ayurveda to address the root drivers of complex eye disease.
