Podcast 22: Community Q&A

  * Hi, I am a young woman of 24 years and I have suffered from multiple sclerosis for the last ten years. In the last year, I began to notice that I had vision loss, particularly in the left eye. After looking into the problem further it became evident that I had a lesion on my brain that has caused the whole left half of the left eye to go blind as well as the peripheral vision on the left side of the right eye. I have been told that there is nothing to be done about this condition, because it originates in the brain and not the eye. But after listening to your podcast and hearing how you've helped others with similar issues I began to wonder if there was anything that could be done? * "I have issues seeing distances as well as close. I am unsure which eye exercises would be most beneficial for me. I would love to have a protocol that spells this out. Thank you so much!" * "Hello. Ive had some light sensitivity issues past two years. I have been to optometrist twice and past two years and they found no issues. I get eye strain or aches from time to time. I'm not quite sure if its an allergy or something else. Any advice would be great." * "I had a CRVO in my left eye back in 2015 and had five eye injections of avastin (I believe).  This seem to correct the problem but I still go in once a year for follow-up. Do you have any information I could review regarding this problem and what steps I could do to make sure it does not happen again? * I enjoyed your interview with Dr. Perlmutter very much and would like to learn more about nutritional protocols for wet and dry macular degeneration. I have one stable eye, 20/20 vision. The other is not so good and treated with Eylea once a month.  I practice gluten free, strict blood sugar control, and take your ACG and MSM drops. Being 87 years old I am physical very active and enjoy hiking just like you. What can I do? * I wanted to ask you about cataracts, I recently have been told at the eye doctor that I have stage 1 cataracts and am wondering what I can do? * Is there a way to reduce night glare while driving? * I heard you on Wellness Mama's podcast. Fascinating stuff, really refreshing to hear. I searched your site for info on two conditions: visual snow and blue field entropic phenomenon in the field of vision. I seemed to see minor versions of both. Are these reversible?  Am I hyper focused on them and should just ignore? * I am just starting to get cataracts, I have a allergy to shellfish and in the past had several episodes of herpes in one eye. What do you recommend? * Love what you are doing. Heard you speak on WellnessMama's podcast. I know you can't treat someone online, but I do have a general question. For someone like me, who has had PRK in left eye and Lasik in the right eye back in the late 90s. My left seems to be set up for distance and my right for near. I still don't need reading glasses and can see close up just fine, but my distance vision is getting considerably worse (assuming my right eye). I do spend a lot of time on the computer. How do exercises that you propose for myopia work in someone's case like me?
