The Eye Health Summit is not just another virtual gathering—it’s a transformative experience designed to change how patients, providers, and professionals think about vision care. Hosted by board-certified ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained neuro-ophthalmologist Dr. Rudrani Banik, the summit brings together 35 top-tier experts from across the eye care industry to explore topics span conventional and integrative approaches to eye health. With the inaugural summit scheduled during Healthy Vision Month (May 1–7), this free, hybrid event promises a global impact.

Dr. Rudrani Banik shared, “This is a project I have been dreaming of for the past six or seven years. The goal is to get curated information out to the public on what they can do to prevent eye disease.” Most people don’t realize they should see an eye doctor annually after age 40. The summit aims to change that by providing actionable, accessible education that empowers patients and equips providers with updated, integrative knowledge.

The Eye Health Summit features recorded interviews with experts across multiple domains—optometry, ophthalmology, nutrition, ergonomics, Chinese medicine, and more. Each 30 to 35-minute session is available for 24 hours, with new talks released daily.

The summit goes far beyond dry eye and glaucoma. Topics include:

Dr. Banik emphasizes that even seasoned eye care professionals will discover new insights: “Even though you may think, ‘I know everything I need to know about blepharitis,’ that one expert may share something that makes you go, ‘Wow.’”

Eye care professionals are encouraged to attend and share the summit with patients. With discussions ranging from AMD to presbyopia, every practitioner can integrate new strategies into patient education and clinical care.

“The Eye Health Summit is a resource for patients to learn about eye disease and refer back to it,” Dr. Banik explains. “It’s designed for longevity.”

With support from industry sponsors and a growing roster of international speakers, the summit aims to become the premiere annual global event in vision care. “I want this to be the eye health event of the year,” says Dr. Banik. “Patients will tune in to learn about their diagnosis. Providers will turn to it for new strategies.”

Plans for the future include broader international representation, more interactive features, and expanded topic coverage. “It’s not just education—it’s a creative outlet,” adds Dr. Banik. “I want people to learn and enjoy the experience.”

Whether you’re an optometrist, ophthalmologist, optician, or student, The Eye Health Summit offers a chance to elevate your knowledge, connect with global leaders, and share valuable education with your patients.
