The Berne Podcast with Dr. Sam Berne - Ein Podcast von Dr. Sam Berne - Holistic Eye Health

Today I'm answering listener questions. Jonathan sent me this question recently: "I was diagnosed with inherited AMBB (Anterior Basement Membrane Dystrophy) and dry eye. I know what to do to try to treat the dry eye and general inflammation, but I was interested in any alternative approaches to AMBB, especially any opinions about what may cause it other than “genetics”. My doctor is having me do Muro and Xiidra and outlined a series of progressive treatments. I wonder if serious fasting to trigger autophagy might help rebuild the cornea instead of a resurfacing procedure if it comes to that. I am also using Avenova or equivalent and various dry eye drops, as well as hot compresses and omega-3s. But I think my main problem is air conditioning, dry climate, and excessive screen time for work and entertainment.  What do you recommend?” So let's dive in. Enjoy the show!
