Just like any part of the body, eye health can't be ignored. But just how do you best support these delicate organs? Today, you'll hear from a true expert on the topic who shares actionable steps you can make to keep your eyes in their best shape for life. Great foods to support eye health include: Leafy greens Carrots Broccoli Cauliflower Berries About Dr. Rudrani Banik Dr. Rudrani Banik is America's Integrative Eye Doctor. She is a board-certified ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained neuro-ophthalmologist with additional training in Functional Medicine. Dr. Rani focuses on the root cause of eye diseases and uses integrative strategies for conditions such as macular degeneration, cataract, dry eye, glaucoma, and autoimmune diseases of the visual system. Her treatments are based on nutrition, botanicals, lifestyle modification, essential oils, and supplements. Dr. Rani runs a private practice based in New York City and is also an Associate Professor of Mount Sinai in NYC where she serves as an educator and researcher. As Principal Investigator of several clinical trials in diseases of the optic nerve, Dr. Rani uses cutting-edge approaches such as nanotechnology and gene therapy.

Dr. Rani has been voted as Castle Connolly Top Doctor and New York Magazine's Best Doctor in Ophthalmology every year since 2017. Eye Health Starts With Good Nutrition Dr. Rani explains why nutrition is the cornerstone to good vision. A proper diet will even reduce the risk of developing certain eye diseases, such as macular degeneration. This is particularly true with antioxidants. A diet that's rich in antioxidants, particularly when derived from plants, will include many nutrients that protect the eye. Dr. Rani suggests eating a wide variety of vegetables every day to keep your eyes strong. In addition to food, there are supplements that can help. Dr. Rani recommends daily supplements that contain lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin. These antioxidants play an important role in managing the light that comes into our eyes. Protecting Your Eyes From Harmful Light Dr. Rani also talks about the impact of blue light on our eyes. This is the light that comes from the Sun and helps regulate our sleep cycles. It also comes from screens. Too much of this light can lead to digital eye strain and disrupted sleep patterns. To combat this, Dr. Rani recommends using blue-light-blocking glasses. To that end, she discusses what to look for when shopping for these special glasses. You also have to consider sunlight. UV light can damage your eyes. Dr. Rani shares her recommendations for finding the most protective sunglasses. Look for ones that block 100 percent of UV light. Also, the bigger the sunglasses, the better. How can you eat right to protect your eyes? What role can supplements play in this? Leave a comment on the episode page!

Moving from academic medicine to private practice is a scary thing to do for any doctor. But what is it like for a specialist is the city with the highest concentration of her specialty to find patients? Oh, and she also decided to go without taking insurance to avoid all of the headaches and extra paperwork! My guest today is Dr.Rudrani Banik, a board certified ophthalmologist and fellowship trained in neuro-ophthalmology who treats patients with vision disturbances, headaches, and other neurological conditions related to the eye. By leaving academics (partly since she still does research) and striking out on her own, she recognized the need to do more than just practice medicine. Not only was she able to practice functional medicine which involves nutrition and lifestyle changes, but she was now forced to learn how to brand herself in order to attract patients in a competitive market. In this episode, Dr. Banik discusses her strategy of creating content to drive traffic and patients through the use of search engine optimization, video content, and eBooks. These are things she never thought of creating for herself as a physician but discovered that they were not only important - but fun to learn. We also discuss the approach she takes for treating patients with migraine headaches which includes temporary dietary restrictions, an evaluation of sleep and stress, and using supplements. All of that can be found in a handy eBook, of course! Dr. Rudrani Banik is a neuro-ophthalmologist who runs Envision Health NYC.
