Corneal Dystrophy Revitalization Therapy: A New Frontier in Restoring Clear Vision
Located in Lauderhill, Florida, TCM Physicians is dedicated to enhancing the clarity and health of our patients’ corneas. Our treatments aim to improve vision and overall eye health for those affected by Corneal Dystrophy.
Leveraging the principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), our approach to managing Corneal Dystrophy is both holistic and personalized. Our comprehensive program includes:
- Specialized Eye Drops and Hydration Therapy: These treatments are designed to nourish the corneal tissues and maintain optimal hydration, helping to improve corneal clarity and reduce discomfort.
- Liver Detoxification: We focus on detoxifying the liver, which we believe can help decrease systemic inflammation and support better health of the corneal tissues by reducing metabolic waste in the blood.

Understanding Corneal Dystrophy
Corneal Dystrophy is a group of genetic disorders that affect the cornea, the clear, dome-shaped front part of the eye that helps focus light. The cornea has several important layers, including:
- The Epithelium: This is the outermost layer of the cornea. It acts as a protective barrier against dust, germs, and injury and helps maintain the eye’s moisture by absorbing and distributing tears.
- The Stroma: This is the thick, middle layer of the cornea, made up of collagen fibers. It provides structural support and strength to the cornea, helping it maintain its shape and transparency.
- The Endothelium: This is the innermost layer of the cornea, responsible for maintaining the cornea’s clarity by pumping excess fluid out of the stroma and keeping the cornea properly hydrated.
In Corneal Dystrophy, there is a progressive breakdown of one or more of these layers. This breakdown leads to symptoms such as blurred vision, sensitivity to light, and discomfort. Depending on the type of corneal dystrophy, the affected layer and the nature of the disorder may vary:
- Epithelium Layer: In conditions like Epithelial Dystrophy, the epithelium becomes irregular, which can lead to recurrent corneal erosion and pain.
- Stroma Layer: In diseases such as Fuchs’ Endothelial Dystrophy, changes occur in the stroma that can lead to corneal swelling, vision distortion, and eventually, the need for corneal transplantation.
- Endothelium Layer: In disorders like Fuchs’ Endothelial Dystrophy, the endothelium deteriorates, impairing its ability to pump fluid out of the cornea, leading to clouding and vision loss.
What goes wrong in Corneal Dystrophy?
In Corneal Dystrophy, the normal function of the cornea is disrupted due to progressive changes in its layers. These changes can affect vision and eye comfort in several ways:
- Layer Breakdown: The condition involves a gradual deterioration of one or more corneal layers. For example:
- Epithelium Layer: Abnormalities can cause the epithelial cells to become irregular, leading to recurrent erosion and discomfort.
- Stroma Layer: Degeneration of the stroma can lead to the formation of deposits or swelling, affecting the cornea’s transparency and structural integrity.
- Endothelium Layer: Damage here impairs the cornea’s ability to pump excess fluid out, causing swelling and clouding.
- Deposits and Irregularities: Abnormal deposits or cellular changes in the cornea disrupt its clarity. These deposits can form within the stroma or on the corneal surface, leading to blurred vision.
- Fluid Imbalance: In disorders affecting the endothelium, the cornea can become too hydrated, leading to swelling. This fluid imbalance reduces the cornea’s transparency and affects vision.
- Inflammatory Response: In some cases, inflammation may contribute to or exacerbate the breakdown of corneal layers, leading to further vision problems and discomfort.
These disruptions interfere with the cornea’s ability to maintain a clear and stable surface, resulting in visual disturbances and potential pain. Understanding these mechanisms is key to diagnosing and managing Corneal Dystrophy effectively.
Visual Symptoms caused by Corneal Dystrophy
Progressively worsening symptoms can include:
Increased Sensitivity To Light
Increased sensitivity to light (photophobia) is common, making it difficult to see in bright conditions or glare.
Blurred or Distorted Vision
The corneal irregularities or deposits can cause vision to become blurry or distorted, affecting clarity and focus.
Decreased Night Vision
Difficulty seeing in low-light or nighttime conditions can result from the cornea’s impaired transparency and structural changes.
Frequent Eye Irritation or Pain
Discomfort, such as burning, itching, or pain, can occur due to irregularities or erosion of the corneal surface.
Traditional Beliefs vs. Our Approach
Conventional medicine views Corneal Dystrophy primarily as a genetic condition that affects the cornea’s clarity and function. The focus is on the progressive breakdown of corneal layers and the treatment often involves surgical interventions like corneal transplants or specialized contact lenses.
Based on our experience, we believe that additional factors may also contribute to the progression and management of Corneal Dystrophy. Specifically:
- Layer Health and Deposits: We consider that imbalances or disruptions in the corneal layers, such as irregular deposits or fluid imbalances, may play a significant role in symptoms and progression. Addressing these disruptions through targeted therapies can help manage symptoms and potentially slow progression.
- Holistic Support: We’ve observed that overall eye health and systemic factors, including nutritional and metabolic health, can impact the corneal condition. By incorporating holistic practices and improving systemic health, such as optimizing nutritional intake and reducing inflammation, we aim to support the cornea’s health and function.
- Integration with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM): Aligning with TCM principles, we focus on the broader health aspects that influence the eye. For example, TCM emphasizes the balance and nourishment of various body systems, which can indirectly support corneal health and function.
By combining these insights with conventional methods, we strive to offer a more comprehensive approach to managing Corneal Dystrophy, aiming to enhance patient outcomes and quality of life.
Corneal Dystrophy. We can help.
Our Corneal Health & Vision Enhancement Therapy offers a promising approach for managing Corneal Dystrophy. However, the degree of improvement in vision can depend on several important factors:
- Severity of Corneal Damage: The extent of deterioration in the corneal layers, such as the epithelium, stroma, or endothelium, plays a critical role in potential outcomes.
- Condition of the Corneal Surface: The level of remaining healthy corneal tissue can impact how much improvement you may experience.
- Duration of Symptoms: Early diagnosis and treatment generally lead to better results, as addressing corneal issues sooner can help preserve vision.
- Presence of Additional Complications: Any existing structural damage or related eye conditions can influence the effectiveness of the therapy.
At our clinic, we thoroughly assess your medical history and current corneal health to understand these factors. During your consultation, we will discuss the expected range of vision improvement specific to your condition.
While individual results may vary, we have observed positive responses to our Corneal Health & Vision Enhancement Therapy even in cases with significant damage or complications. Additionally, many patients experience stable benefits, and ongoing treatments often lead to further improvement.

What Patients Are Saying
Within a few days my vision was back to my normal and I was able to drive.
Retinitis Pigmentosa
“I have been treating with Dr. Campbell for almost 2 years now for RP. When I first visited Dr. Campbell, my had worsened to the point of unable to drive (day or night), blurred vision and unable to see distance and had darkened vision. After my first treatment, by the time I left Dr. Campbell’s office, the blurriness, darkness was gone and I was able to see far distance. Within a few days my vision was back to my normal and I was able to drive. Continuing Dr. Campbell’s herbs and eye drops I have been doing very well with maintaining my vision.
Since I was going well and able to see when I ran out of the herb and eye drops I stopped talking them. Unfortunately, that was the worst thing I could have done. Unfortunately, my vision greatly decreased. I had lost my central vision, my vision was hazy and gray. I wasn’t able to see any writing on a piece of paper and my colors were off. I contacted Dr Campbell for another treatment Immediately I saw results I was able to see without a haze over my vision, I could see faces clearly. In a month or so my central vision came back! I’m able to see the digital clock on my stove again!!
I learned my lesson, keep up with my daily regimen of herbs and eye drops if I was to keep my vision. I am very grateful and thankful that I found Dr. Campbell who actually treats RP and doesn’t shut the door on you saying “Sorry, there is no treatment for this disease”. Dr. Campbell is proof that there is treatment, and I know first hand it works!
Dr, Campbell is a true Blessing!”

After the first session, I was able to see the colors red, pink, orange, white and black.
Retinitis Pigmentosa
“I am a 56-year-old woman with retinitis pigmentosa (RP). I have been advised that RP is a degenerative retinal disease, and that a person who has RP will eventually lose all vision and go blind.
At the age of 18, I had a retinal detachment in the left eye. After surgery in that eye, my vision never returned. I have only light perception in the left eye. My vision in the right eye was stable throughout the years until the age of 43. My peripheral vision was slowly degrading and all color vision was gone. I was diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa and have seen only black and white for the past 13 years.
Dr. Campbell began treating me on December 9, 2015. After the first session, I was able to see the colors red, pink, orange, white and black. I was so excited and amazed. Also, I saw most of the letters, numbers and color symbols on a deck of playing cards.
On the second day of treatment I slowly noticed the creamy yellow tone of the exam room wall. The colors seemed to slowly come through. I started seeing violet, dark blue and even shiny silver.
When I returned home, I decided to test my color vision. I saw the green, orange, red and even gold with silver sparkles on the Christmas balls. Also, when I looked at the sky I asked my husband if it was a grey blue. He confirmed it. From my apartment balcony I noticed the boats docked in the marina. They were very blurry, but I could make out the direction they were facing. At night, I saw part of the bridge, lights and quick flashes of cars crossing.
I expect to continue treatment with Dr. Campbell and eventually hope to have functional and maybe independent mobility.”
