Radka Toms, MD

Dr. Radka Toms is a medical doctor, ophthalmologist, functional medicine practitioner, and health coach whose work sits at the intersection of vision, nutrition, and whole-person health. As a pioneer in the emerging field of nutritional ophthalmology and gut-eye axis, she helps patients understand how nutrition, metabolism, gut health, inflammation, and lifestyle influence the development and progression of eye disease. Her approach integrates the best of conventional ophthalmology with evidence-based nutrition and lifestyle medicine to support conditions such as dry eye disease, ocular rosacea, glaucoma, age-related macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy. Driven by a belief that the eyes cannot be separated from the rest of the body, Dr. Toms explores the fascinating connections between the gut, immune system, metabolism, nervous system, and visual health. Her particular interest in the gut-eye axis has led her to develop innovative, personalized strategies that focus not only on managing symptoms but also on addressing the underlying factors contributing to disease.

After successfully healing her own advanced rosacea through nutrition and lifestyle medicine, Dr. Toms became passionate about helping others discover the body’s remarkable capacity for recovery. She empowers her patients with practical tools, education, and personalized guidance, enabling them to become active participants in their healing journey.
Her mission is simple: to help people uncover the root causes of their health challenges, restore resilience, and protect their vision through sustainable changes that support long-term health and vitality.

Through her work, Dr. Toms is helping redefine the future of eye care, moving beyond symptom management toward a more
integrated, preventive, and person-centered model of medicine. By treating the whole person rather than isolated symptoms, she helps patients create meaningful improvements in their health, vision, and quality of life.
