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

Question 1 0:18 - 7:31 I am at the age where I need bifocals and I wear contacts. I also have astigmatism. What can I do to improve my eyesight? Question 2 7:36 - 12:44 I am looking for information about how to improve retinitis pigmentosa holistically. What do you recommend? Thank you. Question 3 12:44 - 16:26 Is flash photography dangerous for newborns, babies or pregnant woman? Question 4 16:26 - 24:34 Good afternoon, Dr. Berne. I am a 32 year-old Caucasian male. I have always had extreme myopia and was diagnosed with pigmentary dispersion syndrome at about 25. I have been to glaucoma specialists who have given me medically aggressive, yet highly unreliable procedures to treat it. I have attempted some natural treatments for this including eye-washes, juicing carrots, and various herbs. None have been successful. I am currently on meds, yet fear that I am developing a tolerance and I will need to continue to increase in amounts and strengths endlessly. From what I understand, this disease is fairly rare, and is not treated the same way as regular glaucoma. Have you had any success treating it? Can you offer a natural, holistic way to manage it, without needing to be a lifelong meds user? Thanks so much.
