Complete Eye Health
Hello, In doing the research for her book, Beyond Carrots , Dr. Rani Banik delved deep into the 30+ nutrients our eyes need to stay healthy and which foods best provide those nutrients. Though it's always best to get your eye nutrition through whole, natural, and unprocessed foods, sometimes supplementation may be necessary. Eye health supplements can certainly be confusing. There are over 75 eye health supplements on the market, each with its own formulation. Teasing out whether a supplement or brand provides what your eyes truly need can be challenging. In Dr. Rani's opinion, the most important ingredients that an eye health supplement should include are: the macular carotenoids (lutein, zeaxanthin, and meso-zeaxanthin) complete B complex anti-oxidants (Vitamins A, C, E, glutathione, n-acetyl cysteine, alpha lipoic acid), and bioflavonoid extracts (bilberry, anthocynanins, grape seed) Two additional high-quality supplements for eye health that Dr. Rani highly recommends are: a combination omega supplements (DHA, EPA, and GLA from fish oil or DHA/EPA from an algal supplement) a spore probiotic (the spore form withstands degradation by stomach acid) Below are several of the trusted, pharmaceutical-grade brands Dr. Rani recommends to her patients. She also uses them for herself and her family. *Note- There is an algal-derived omega supplement option suitable for vegetarians/vegans. Please follow the instructions and let us know if you have any questions.

Dr. Rani's Migraine Protocol- The Essentials
Hello Welcome to Dr. Rani's practice. Below is information Dr. Rani would like to share with you about Migraine, as well as the supplements and other products that may be helpful. Also listed are a few of the trusted brands Dr. Rani recommends for her patients. Please contact the office with any questions via the email or phone below. Mykah Bunag Patient Care Coordinator Office of Rudrani Banik, M.D. Tel: 646-820-2074 Email: info@rudranibanikmd.com Dr. Rani's Migraine Protocol Migraine is one of the most common and debilitating conditions in the world. It tends to affect mainly women, though men and children may suffer as well. Migraine also runs in families, as there is a genetic component. More than just a headache, migraine is a complex neurological disorder. In migraine, various electrical, chemical, and vascular changes occur in the brain that make the brain very sensitive to sensory stimuli. These stimuli may be visual, sound, smell, or touch. Individuals with migraine may have light or sound sensitivity, as well as nausea and vomiting when symptomatic. These symptoms may or may not occur with a headache. Additional symptoms may include ringing in the ears (tinnitus), fatigue, sleepiness, flashing lights (visual aura), balance issues, dizziness, vertigo, tingling, numbness, brain fog, and many more. The goal of migraine management is to avoid triggers and prevent attacks. As an integrative neuro-ophthalmologist, I believe this is best accomplished via nutritional (avoidance of food or ingredient triggers such as red wine, histamine-rich foods, high simple sugars, and processed foods) and lifestyle interventions (such as meditation, aggressive hydration, exercise/movement, improved sleep hygiene, and stress management), along with a combination of supplements, botanicals, essential oils, and prescription medications, when appropriate. Supplements have been shown to be of benefit for migraine patients in numerous clinical studies. The most important supplements proven to decrease the frequency and severity of migraine attacks include magnesium, riboflavin (Vitamin B2), and omega 3s. Additional supplements that may benefit migraine include melatonin, coenzyme Q10, and probiotics. Botanicals such as white willow bark, and Boswellia can also help with migraine symptomatology. Butterbur has also been studied in migraine, though should be used with caution due to the risk of liver toxicity. Essential oils in the form of inhaled or topical aromatherapy can be quite useful in managing migraine by decreasing irritability of nerves and decreasing pain. My personal favorites and the ones my patients have most benefitted from include peppermint, lavender, and frankincense. When choosing an essential oil, be sure it is manufactured by a trusted supplier so that it is free of contaminants. Also, make sure the oil you are using is not rancid. Organic essential oils are best, if possible. For directions on how to use essential oils, please see my Migraine/Headache Regimen attached below. Below you will find the pharmaceutical-grade supplements of magnesium L-threonate, Ultra B complex, omega-3 that I have found to be most effective and recommend to my patients. When considering supplements, be sure to purchase reputable brands that have strict quality-control. These are the brands I myself use and trust for my patients with migraine. For light sensitivity associated with migraine, FL-41 tinted lenses are proven to be helpful. You may visit www.axonoptics.com to see the available options for these rose-colored lenses.

Visual Snow Syndrome Protocol
Visual Snow Syndrome Protocol Visual snow syndrome (VSS) affects how visual information is processed by the brain and eyes. People with VSS see tiny flickering dots, like snow or TV static, that fill the entire visual field. Other visual symptoms include seeing floaters of varying size and shape, afterimages, and trailing images. In addition, people with Visual Snow Syndrome may have light sensitivity, difficulty with night vision, ringing in the ears (tinnitus), migraines, and a disconnected feeling from their body. Here is a simulator for VSS: https://visionsimulations.com/visual-snow.htm The symptoms of Visual Snow Syndrome can begin at any age from childhood but usually develops in early to mid-adulthood. Symptoms must be present for at least 3 months before the diagnosis is formally made. The root cause of Visual Snow Syndrome remains unclear but is likely to involve how the brain processes vision. In my experience taking care of patients with VSS for over 20 years, it may be triggered by migraine, head trauma or concussion, surgery, loss of vision from other causes, or even after vaccination. People with Visual Snow Syndrome may have depression or anxiety related to their symptoms. Fortunately, visual snow does not cause permanent loss of vision or blindness. Visual Snow Syndrome is diagnosed based on the symptoms and an otherwise normal neuro-ophthalmic examination. In some cases, additional testing such as MRI, bloodwork, or EEG may be necessary to rule out other causes of symptoms. Treatment is focused on managing the symptoms and may include supplementation, pharmacologic therapy, tinted lenses, and mind-body techniques. To date, there is no cure for VSS, though symptoms can be managed with these approaches. As an aside, I myself developed Visual Snow Syndrome at least 6 years ago. when I developed chronic daily migraine. Despite my VSS, I have learned to live a full life. I continue to see patients, operate, read, drive, and use devices despite my symptoms. I do not let my VSS dictate my life. For my patients with VSS, especially those with co-existing migraine, I have found several supplement formulations to be helpful. These include Magnesium L-threonate and Ultra B complex. I usually recommend that my patient try these supplements for at least 3 months with the hope of decreasing their symptoms. After 3 months, continued use may depend on symptom improvement and need. When considering supplements, be sure to purchase reputable brands that have strict quality control. These are the brands I trust and have used for myself and my patients with visual snow.

Floaters Protocol
Floaters (Vitreous Degeneration) To help keep the shape of the eye, there is a jelly-like substance in the back of the eye known as the vitreous. The vitreous is made out of mainly water, but also has collagen, hyaluronic acid, and other structural proteins. When people are young, the vitreous jelly is firm and semi-solid, like Jell-O. However, as people age, the vitreous jelly changes from a gel-like substance to a more liquified form. This structural change may also occur if one is myopic (nearsighted), or has had eye trauma or surgery. When the vitreous jelly liquifies, its collagen breaks down and forms clumps. These clumps cast shadows on the retina when light comes into the eye and are seen as eye floaters. Vitreous floaters may appear as lines, dots, or squiggles in vision that move with movement of the eye. Floaters tend to be either transparent or grayish in color. The most common cause of vitreous floaters is a posterior vitreous detachment (PVD), a separation of the vitreous jelly in the back of the eye from the optic nerve. Often this condition is not visually threatening. However, patients that have a sudden onset of new vitreous floaters and/or flashing lights need to be evaluated by an ophthalmologist with a dilated eye exam to make sure that the floaters are not caused by something more serious, such as a retinal tear or detachment, or inflammation within the eye that may simulate benign vitreous floaters. For patients with vitreous floaters, based on early research, several supplement and botanical formulations may be helpful. These include Bromelain and a combination of Vitamin C, Zinc, and L-Lysine. I usually recommend that my patients try these supplements for at least 3 months to help decrease their symptoms. After 3 months, continued use many depend on symptom improvement and need. When considering supplements, be sure to purchase reputable brands that have strict quality-control. These are the brands I have trusted for my patients with floaters.
