About Us

An integrated medical approach to visual health: multidisciplinary ophthalmology, assessment of systemic correlations and, when clinically validated, natural medicine. Systemic Ophthalmology is a cultural and clinical approach, not a medical specialty recognized at the regulatory level.

How we work

We provide outpatient and diagnostic services in Romagna (Faenza, Ravenna, Castrocaro Terme), with specific attention to possible links between ocular symptoms and systemic conditions. When needed, we work closely with other healthcare professionals to ensure continuity of care, integrating nutrition and natural medicine approaches (such as clinical nutraceuticals) when appropriate, always strictly within the boundaries of Evidence-Based Medicine (EBM).

Ophthalmology, general health factors and multidisciplinary care

When an eye problem is recurrent or “resistant”, the assessment may extend beyond the local district to include systemic co-factors (silent inflammation, diet, microbiota, sleep disorders, stress). Working in multispecialty centres facilitates interdisciplinary discussion, allowing us to combine standard ophthalmological therapies with lifestyle medicine and clinical supplementation, always coordinating with the patient's referring physicians. We consult in specialised clinics in Faenza, Ravenna, and Castrocaro Terme; for a broader description of our paradigm, please visit our Vision page.
