Holistic Eye Treatments for Vision Restoration
At Netra Eye Institute, we specialize in holistic eye care using a combination of acupuncture, Ayurveda, and herbal medicine to treat a wide range of eye conditions. Our approach, Netra Restoration Therapy (NRT), is non-invasive and focused on restoring vision naturally, without resorting to surgery. Our patients often notice improvements within two weeks of beginning treatment. We treat conditions such as glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, retinitis pigmentosa, keratoconus, myopia, dry eyes, and retinal occlusion. Our treatments are designed to enhance visual clarity, improve color perception, increase sensitivity to light, and reduce sensitivity to glare. Many patients also report an improvement in their overall health, as our therapies address multiple health concerns beyond the eyes. Drawing on the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and Ayurveda, our treatments are based on proven techniques that have been practiced for centuries. TCM, with over 2,000 years of history, uses acupuncture and herbal remedies to restore balance and treat eye conditions. Ayurveda, a holistic healing tradition from India, has been used for over 5,000 years, incorporating therapies like Panchakarma and herbal medicine to treat various eye disorders.
We are located in South Plainfield, New Jersey, and offer services to both local and international patients. Online appointment scheduling is available, and we accept Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) for payment. Potential patients can contact us to determine eligibility for NRT and discuss personalized treatment plans.

Macular Degeneration
Macular degeneration, a condition affecting the macula, leads to the loss of central vision, making everyday activities difficult. It can manifest in two forms: dry and wet. At Netra Eye Institute, we provide comprehensive care, from early detection to ongoing treatment, to help you maintain your vision and quality of life.
Diabetic Retinopathy
Individuals with diabetes may develop diabetic retinopathy, where the blood vessels in the retina are damaged over time. This can lead to visual disturbances such as blurred vision or floaters. The condition may worsen without proper care, but controlling blood sugar can prevent further damage and improve vision in many cases.
Myopia Treatment
Nearsightedness, or myopia, is a refractive condition where distant objects appear blurry due to improper light refraction in the eye. It is often genetic and becomes noticeable in children between 8 and 12 years of age. While the condition can stabilize in adulthood, it may worsen during periods of rapid growth in teens.
Dry Eyes
Dry eyes result from either a lack of sufficient tears or poor tear quality, causing discomfort and vision impairment. It affects many individuals, especially those over 65, and can be worsened by medication, environmental factors, or underlying health issues. Chronic dry eyes may damage the surface of the eye and require appropriate treatment for relief.
Acupuncture
Acupuncture enhances the bodys natural healing process by targeting acupoints, where fine, sterile needles are gently inserted. The benefits can be boosted with additional stimulation methods like heat, electrical impulses, or pressure. Other techniques to activate acupoints include cupping, massage, moxibustion, and applying herbal medicines or linaments to the skin.

If you are suffering with a chronic eye condition, I highly recommend scheduling a consultation with Dr. Saikumar Gandapodi at Netra Eye Institute in Edison, New Jersey. Dr. Gandapodi believes in treating the root cause of the eye condition rather than just addressing the symptoms. He is very detail oriented and methodical in his approach backed up by his education and therapy experience. He will provide you with a thorough analysis and look after you personally during the entire therapy session.
I recently completed my three weeks of wellness therapy at Netra Eye Institute and I am already seeing major improvements with the reduction in my eye prescription correction numbers. Netra Eye Institute is not just a well equipped clinic but is also backed up by professional and patient-caring staff. Thank you Dr. Gandapodi for your services and care.
