In this episode of Soul Sparks with host Pragya Malviya, we step into a world often overlooked—our eyes. Dr. Andy Rosenfarb, a pioneer in holistic ophthalmology, shares how vision care extends far beyond glasses, lenses, and surgery. With over 30 years of experience and patients from 50+ countries, he blends acupuncture, herbal medicine, nutrition, photobiomodulation, and functional therapies with modern science to help people not just preserve sight, but improve their overall well-being.
From the rise of digital eye strain and blue light damage to the impact of stress, diet, sleep, and auto-immune conditions on our vision, this conversation uncovers why our eyes are a mirror of whole-body health. If you’ve ever believed that eyesight loss is “just a part of aging,” this episode will make you rethink that belief.
About the Guest :
Dr. Andy Rosenfarb is a world-renowned expert in holistic eye health and founder of the Acupuncture Health Center in New Jersey. A licensed acupuncturist and herbalist, he has helped patients across more than 50 countries improve vision and manage conditions like glaucoma, macular degeneration, and genetic retinal diseases. By integrating traditional Chinese medicine, functional medicine, and cutting-edge therapies, he empowers people to take charge of their eye health and overall wellness.
Key Takeaways :
-
Holistic ophthalmology looks beyond the eyes—considering nutrition, sleep, hydration, circulation, and stress as drivers of vision health.
-
Genetics aren’t destiny: lifestyle and environmental factors (epigenetics) can determine whether eye conditions manifest or worsen.
-
Overuse of screens and blue light exposure is now linked to early macular degeneration, digital eye strain, and dry eye syndrome.
-
Medications (such as cholesterol drugs, diuretics, and weight-loss injections) can accelerate eye problems, especially eye strokes.
-
Age is a factor, but not the sole reason for vision decline—some people’s eyes biologically “age faster” due to systemic imbalances.
-
Integrative care—combining Western diagnostics and emergency procedures with traditional and functional medicine—produces the best long-term results.
-
Simple habits like digital breaks, hydration, eating carotenoid-rich foods, and listening to early body signals are critical for prevention.
-
Losing sight is not just a medical issue; it triggers deep emotional, social, and spiritual impacts—patients often feel isolated, anxious, or hopeless. Building community and hope is part of the healing journey.
-
Words have power: how doctors and caregivers frame a diagnosis can influence whether patients feel doomed or empowered.
