Read about the scientific rationale and mechanisms relevant to Netra Restoration Therapy (NRT) and Integrative Eyecare.
“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.”
“For me, the improvements have been significant in many ways; no more sensitivity to bright light, colors more vibrant, distinguishing grayscale better even at night (along with better night vision), easier computer screen reading, increased peripheral vision, distance visual acuity improving from 20/200 to 20/30 without glasses, and color contrast improving along with visual field improvements. These improvements are shockingly good considering that I have only finished two of the five on-site treatments. You owe it to yourself to seriously consider Netra's treatments.”
"The Doctor combines the best of Chinese and Indian medicine to heal issues for which there appear to be no other solutions. In my case, I presented with glaucoma with 20/30 vision and a small loss in peripheral vision. The doctor restored my vision to 20/15 and improved the visual field in my left eye so that it is normal and the visual field in my right eye so that it is almost normal."
"I was diagnosed as Wet Macular Degeneration in my right eye three months ago and my ophthalmologist recommended me to receive regular eye injection to have the symptom "controlled", but I determined to find a treatment to "heal" my eye problem instead. I received an intensive holistic treatment in the Institute and at the end of my first treatment course, I was glad that there was no more macular edema in my right eye. Moreover, my visual acuity for both eyes, night vision, as well as peripheral visual field were improved a lot."
"Dr. Sai is god-sent for me, when i had developed a vision issue that doesnt' have a "name" in western medicine. I feel lucky to stumble on this gem searching for alternative treatments. Dr. Sai is not only an acupuncturist but has deep knowledge of traditional treatment styles in chinese, tibetan and ayurvedic medicines. Under his care, i am almost back up there doing my normal lifestyle."
"In just about 4 weeks of starting the treatment at Netra Eye Institute, my vision has greatly improved from just seeing fingers at 2 feet to seeing a few lines on the vision chart. My macular edema has completely disappeared, and my IOP has stabilized from 32 to 9. Before the treatment, I was walking like a zombie with tonnel vision. After the treatment, I am now able to move around the house with ease and run up and down the stairs like normal. My blurriness had considerably reduced, and my night vision, color, and depth perception had greatly improved."
Dr. Saikumar Gandapodi is the Founder and Director of Netra Eye Institute, where he leads a holistic, integrative approach to vision care. He holds a Master’s degree in Traditional Oriental Medicine from Pacific College of Health and Science and a doctoral degree from Five Branches University, reflecting his extensive academic training in evidence-informed traditional medicine.
In addition to his formal education, Dr. Gandapodi received advanced clinical training in India, where he worked in eye hospitals and gained hands-on experience in ocular diagnostics and modern ophthalmic imaging technologies. This exposure to contemporary ophthalmic diagnostics, combined with his training in traditional medical sciences, shaped his integrative perspective on eye health.
Drawing on this multidisciplinary background, Dr. Gandapodi developed Netra Restoration Therapy (NRT) — a physiology-based eye care program designed to support retinal and optic nerve health by improving ocular blood flow, enhancing neuroretinal resilience, regulating inflammation, and reducing oxidative stress.
Through NRT, Dr. Gandapodi is committed to providing patients with a science-guided, holistic pathway aimed at supporting long-term retinal and optic nerve health.
