Exceptional Eye Care in Oceanside, CA
“Michael is heaven sent. Thank goodness for natural healers like him. More than worth it.” – Melanie W., Oceanside, CA
“I cannot say enough good things about this place. Michael is the BEST! I was intimidated prior to my first visit because I don’t really like doctors and I had never had any kind of physical therapy. But he came highly recommended by someone I trust so I gave him a shot. Boy was I glad I did!
If I had to say what I like most about Michael, besides his sense of humor and wining personality, it would be his desire to solve the problem rather than just treat the symptoms. Don’t get me wrong, he is a whiz at treating the symptoms and getting rid of pain. But he also works with you to fix the underlying cause so you don’t have to keep coming back for pain management. That is what I like the most.
On top of that, Michael is very knowledgeable and more than willing to share that knowledge with his patients. He is very up front and explains everything he is doing and why before he does it. I would recommend Michael and Natural Solutions without hesitation.” – Vanessa M., Oceanside, CA
“I’ve been a delighted patient for 4+ years who appreciates the care, devotion and expertise Mike places on his patients and craft. Each visit consists of a clear, easy to digest anatomy lesson and education combined with a course of action. He’s realistic and passionate while multitasking to achieve the best result possible. Web scheduling is convenient and he’s flexible with my wacky requests. Go get healed from the best healer I know…” – Michael D., Del Mar, CA

Makari Wellness : Common Eye Treatments at our Oceanside Location
Besides the retinitis pigmentosa, here at Makari Wellness, we successfully treat many different eye diseases.
Lazy Eye Treatment
The lazy eye responds well to acupuncture. It stimulates the retinal nerve growth and metabolic changes in the central nervous system, improving the connection between the eye with amblyopia and the brain’s optical center.
Retinal Detachment Treatment
Triggering spontaneous healing reactions in the body is the main goal of acupuncture. Together with Micro Acupuncture 48, Chinese Herbal Therapy, and nutrition and lifestyle counseling, it can ease symptoms of retinal detachment.
Glaucoma Treatment
Retrieving the balance and recovering the whole body are the main goals of Eastern medicine in treating glaucoma symptoms. A certified acupuncturist can help improve the entire body’s nerve conductivity and blood flow, not only in the eyes.
Optic Neuritis Treatment
Inflammation and swelling of the optic nerve can be successfully treated with alternative treatments to improve the conductivity of the optic nerve and increase the blood flow to the eye.
Diabetic Retinopathy Treatment
Diabetes can damage the eyes, so diabetic eye disease is not rare. When discovered on time, Micro Acupuncture 48 can help your body build its own stem cell activity up to 300%. It is vital for photoreceptors and vascular regeneration.
Macular Degeneration Treatment
Micro Acupuncture 48 is quite successful in treating macular degeneration by bringing energy to the affected eye. At the same time, customized herbal mixtures can help in strengthening the entire body, including the eyes.
NAION Treatment
Improving the blood flow to the optic nerve can improve the symptoms of NAION. Treating 18 acupuncture points around the eyes can increase the Qi circulation and blood flow to the eyes.
Myopia Treatment
Nearsightedness as an eye focusing disorder can be treated by TCM. The main goal of the alternative treatments is to treat the root of the problem by improving oxygen supply and blood circulation in the retina.
Retinal Occlusion
Eye stroke is a severe condition that can lead to vision loss. Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Therapy can successfully improve blood flow and eliminate blood clots in the eye.
Acupuncture Ophthalmology Oceanside
In this brief video, Michael represents the basic principles of acupuncture ophthalmology. It works by treating the individual and not the disease. There are certain internal imbalances that allow the diseases to develop. Acupuncture improves the eye’s blood flow and also improves nerve conductivity in the eye. Acupuncture ophthalmology treats various degenerative eye diseases – it can slow or even stop the disease progression.

Find More Information About Retinitis Pigmentosa : Symptoms, Causes, and Treatment
What is Retinitis Pigmentosa?
Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP) is a hereditary eye condition that affects the retina. It changes the way how the retina responds to light, making it people hard to see. The disease is progressive, although cases of complete blindness are extremely rare.
What are the Symptoms of Retinitis Pigmentosa?
Symptoms usually include night blindness and loss of peripheral vision. In addition, patients report the sensation of tunnel vision, as though they see a world through a straw. However, many retinitis pigmentosa patients will retain a small degree of central vision throughout their lives.
What are Retinitis Pigmentosa Causes?
Retinitis pigmentosa is a group of inherited disorders, and people are born with it. The gene mutations (changes in genes) send wrong messages to the retinal cells, eventually leading to their progressive degeneration. It is caused by a mutation of more than 60 genes and can be inherited as autosomal recessive, autosomal dominant, or X-linked recessive traits.
What is Cure for Retinitis Pigmentosa?
Unfortunately, there is no cure for RP. Because it is hereditary, the defective gene cannot be reversed or cured; only the consequences can be slightly mitigated. However, acupuncture for the treatment of vision loss due to retinitis pigmentosa showed some improvements in night vision, visual acuity, dark adaptation, and Goldman visual fields.
What Is Retinitis Pigmentosa ICD 10 Code?
Retinitis Pigmentosa ICD 10 diagnostic code is H35.52 – Pigmentary Retinal Dystrophy.
