Diabetic Retinopathy Revitalization Therapy: A Breakthrough in Vision Restoration
Located in Lauderhill, Florida, TCM Physicians was created to improve the eyesight of our patients. Our treatments help visually impaired people improve their ability to see the world around them.
Drawing upon the wisdom of Traditional Chinese Medicine, our vision restoration program offers a holistic approach for Diabetic Retinopathy restoration & recovery treatment. This program integrates the following elements:
- Homeopathic eye drops and water ionization: These treatments aim to nourish the fluids within the eye.
- Detoxifying the liver: We believe this helps reduce inflammation in the eye’s arteries by lowering metabolic waste in the blood.
- Improving lymphatic drainage: This helps remove waste products that can contribute to inflammation.
This comprehensive and personalized approach is one of the reasons why many patients experience improvement in their vision.

Understanding Diabetic Retinopathy
Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) is a complication of diabetes that affects the retina, the light-sensitive layer at the back of your eye. The retina plays a critical role in vision by converting light into signals that the brain interprets as images. In Diabetic Retinopathy, high blood sugar levels cause damage to the small blood vessels in the retina, leading to various vision problems. Here are some key aspects of how DR affects the retina:
- Microaneurysms and Hemorrhages: In the early stages, tiny bulges form in the blood vessels of the retina, known as microaneurysms. These can leak fluid and blood, causing small hemorrhages and leading to retinal swelling (edema).
- Retinal Swelling (Edema): Fluid can leak into the center of the retina (the macula), which is essential for sharp, central vision. This condition, known as macular edema, can significantly impair vision.
- Blocked Blood Vessels: High blood sugar can cause blood vessels to close off, leading to areas of the retina being deprived of their blood supply. This lack of oxygen and nutrients can cause the death of retinal cells.
- Neovascularization: As the disease progresses, the retina may attempt to grow new blood vessels to compensate for the blocked ones. These new vessels are often abnormal and fragile, leading to more leakage and bleeding into the vitreous, the gel-like substance inside the eye.
- Scar Tissue and Retinal Detachment: The growth of new blood vessels and subsequent bleeding can lead to the formation of scar tissue. This scar tissue can pull on the retina, potentially causing it to detach from the back of the eye, which can result in severe vision loss or blindness if not treated promptly.
Understanding these key points about Diabetic Retinopathy is crucial for diagnosing and managing the condition effectively. Early detection through regular eye exams and controlling blood sugar levels can help prevent or slow the progression of vision loss associated with DR.
What goes wrong in Diabetic Retinopathy?
In Diabetic Retinopathy (DR), prolonged high blood sugar levels damage the small blood vessels in the retina, leading to several complications that affect vision. These complications can include:
- Leakage and Hemorrhages: High blood sugar weakens the blood vessels, causing them to develop tiny bulges (microaneurysms) that can leak fluid and blood into the retina. This leakage can lead to retinal swelling and small hemorrhages.
- Retinal Swelling (Macular Edema): Fluid leakage from damaged blood vessels can accumulate in the macula, the central part of the retina responsible for sharp vision. This condition, known as macular edema, can significantly impair central vision and make it difficult to see fine details.
- Blood Vessel Blockage: High blood sugar can cause the retinal blood vessels to become blocked or close off entirely, depriving areas of the retina of oxygen and nutrients. This can result in the death of retinal cells and further vision loss.
- Abnormal Blood Vessel Growth (Neovascularization): In response to blocked or damaged blood vessels, the retina may attempt to grow new blood vessels. These new vessels are often abnormal and fragile, prone to leaking and bleeding into the vitreous, the gel-like substance inside the eye.
- Scar Tissue Formation and Retinal Detachment: The fragile new blood vessels and associated bleeding can lead to the formation of scar tissue. As this scar tissue contracts, it can pull on the retina, potentially causing it to detach from the back of the eye. Retinal detachment is a serious condition that can result in severe vision loss or blindness if not treated promptly.
Visual Symptoms caused by Diabetic Retinopathy
Progressively worsening symptoms can include:
Floaters
Small spots or strings that drift through your field of vision, caused by bleeding into the vitreous from abnormal blood vessels.
Difficulty Seeing at Night
Reduced blood flow and retinal damage can impair vision in low-light conditions.
Dark or Empty Areas in Vision
Blocked or damaged blood vessels can create blind spots or dark patches in the visual field.
Foggy and/or Blurred Vision
This occurs due to swelling in the retina or macula, affecting the clarity of sight.
Traditional Beliefs vs. Our Approach
Conventional medicine views Diabetic Retinopathy (DR) primarily as a complication of diabetes, caused by prolonged high blood sugar levels that damage the retinal blood vessels. The standard approach focuses on controlling blood sugar, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels, alongside treatments like laser therapy, injections, or surgery to manage the condition.
Based on our experience, we believe that additional factors may also contribute to the progression and management of Diabetic Retinopathy. Specifically:
- Vascular Health and Inflammation: We focus on the health of the blood vessels and the role of inflammation in DR. By addressing inflammation and improving blood vessel health, we aim to reduce retinal damage and enhance vision.
- Systemic Health and Nutritional Support: We’ve observed that overall health, including liver function and nutritional status, can significantly impact eye health. By supporting liver function and providing targeted nutritional support, we believe we can better manage the effects of DR.
- Holistic and Integrative Care: Aligning with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) principles, we emphasize a holistic approach that considers the entire body’s health. TCM suggests that the liver and other organs play a vital role in maintaining eye health. By integrating these insights, we aim to provide a more comprehensive treatment for DR.
By combining these insights with conventional methods, we strive to offer a more holistic approach to managing Diabetic Retinopathy, aiming to enhance patient outcomes and improve quality of life.
Diabetic Retinopathy. We can help.
Our Eye & Vision Restoration Therapy can be an effective tool for managing Diabetic Retinopathy (DR). However, the degree of vision improvement can vary based on several factors:
- Severity of Blood Vessel Damage: The extent of damage to the retinal blood vessels and the resulting impact on retinal health are crucial determinants of potential improvement.
- Extent of Retinal Swelling and Bleeding: The amount of retinal swelling (macular edema) and bleeding can influence the effectiveness of the therapy.
- Duration of the Condition: Early intervention typically leads to better outcomes, as prolonged high blood sugar levels can cause more significant and lasting damage.
- Presence of Scar Tissue: Existing scar tissue and structural complications within the eye can affect how well the therapy works.
At our clinic, we meticulously review your medical records to assess these factors. During your consultation, we will discuss the potential range of vision improvement specific to your case.
While individual results may vary, we have observed positive responses to our Eye & Vision Restoration Therapy even in patients with significant vision loss or complications. Additionally, most treatment benefits are stable, and repeat sessions can often lead to further progress.

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.”
