Dr. Rudrani Banik is a functional medicine specialist who focuses on the relationship between nutrition and the eyes. What so many ophthalmologists and optometrists leave out of their conversations with patients is exactly how vital eating the right, nutritious food is to promoting healthy eyes while building up defenses to external toxins that can derail the overall fitness of our eyes. The risks of ignoring digital influence of blue light on optical health can be devastating starting with the onset of macular degeneration – yet so many patients don’t consider eye health a primary concern until it’s too late. She specializes in Ophthalmology, Neuro-Ophthalmology, and Headache.
