Your First and Last Name: Keshav Narain, M.D.
About Me – For optimal listing appearance, please limit this info to one or two paragraphs.: Dr. Keshav Narain is a board certified ophthalmologist and subspecialist with training in retinal diseases. Examination of the retina and optic nerve allows me to identify and then treat conditions affecting the visual system. The visual system itself is fundamentally affected by the health of the body. At the same time, examination of the eyes enables a window into the health of the body by permitting direct visualization and measurement of blood flow and nerve function. Every patients ocular condition can be improved by addressing the local as well as systemic factors. Our protocol for monitoring further enhances patients systemic health by providing insight into through our next generation examination.
We are available to see new patients in San Jose Tuesdays through Fridays and in Gilroy on select Fridays. We specialize in managing patients with diabetic ocular disease, hypertensive ocular disease, glaucoma, macular degeneration, thyroid eye disease, and ocular surface disease / Sjogren’s. The whole food plant based diet benefits these conditions, including autoimmune states via multiple mechanisms. All ocular conditions can be improved through careful design of lifestyle factors.
