Eye Stroke Treatment Modalities

When it comes to eye strokes, conventional medicine often focuses on stabilization — injections, laser, or monitoring.
Dr. Andy Rosenfarb emphasizes a more proactive approach:

“We don’t just want to preserve what’s left. We want to wake up dormant cells, restore function, and give the eye a chance to heal.”

At the Eye Health Institute, a variety of holistic modalities are used to support recovery and prevent future strokes.

Core Treatment Modalities

Ophthalmic Acupuncture

• Specialized systems like Micro Acupuncture 48, scalp acupuncture, and auricular acupuncture.
• Improves circulation, reduces inflammation, and stimulates neuroplasticity.
• Effective for both retinal occlusions and optic nerve strokes.

---

Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT)

• Delivers oxygen under pressure, saturating plasma and bypassing blocked blood vessels.
• Dr. Rosenfarb calls it:

  “The single best therapy for stroke recovery if you can access it.”

---

Alternating Current Microstimulation (ACS-3000)

• A device developed by Dr. Rosenfarb.
• Provides gentle retinal stimulation to “wake up” dormant cells.
• Can be used in-office or at home.

---

Low-Level Laser Therapy

• Improves mitochondrial function.
• Reduces oxidative stress.
• Enhances blood flow and supports nerve repair.

---

Nutritional and Herbal Support

• Enzymes like serrapeptase and nattokinase to reduce clotting.
• Omega-3 DHA for nerve regeneration.
• Antioxidants like lutein, zeaxanthin, and glutathione for protection.
• Herbal medicine to calm inflammation and support vascular health.

Why Multiple Modalities Work Best

Eye strokes are complex — they involve circulation, inflammation, oxidative stress, and neuroplasticity.
Combining therapies allows Dr. Rosenfarb to address all of these at once for the best chance of recovery.

Patient Story

One CRVO patient came to the Eye Health Institute after injections had failed to restore vision. By combining acupuncture, ACS, hyperbaric therapy, and supplements, he regained enough clarity to read and return to his daily routine.

This outcome highlights the value of combining modalities instead of relying on a single therapy.
