Podcast 62: Community Q&A

This episode answers questions related to Visual Snow, the uses of glutathione, Idiopathic Juxtafoveal Tillandsia Ectasis, Lattice degeneration, Vitreous syneresis, Myopia, dry-eye syndrome, ocular migraines, white dot syndrome, and floaters. Question 1 0:37 - 6:55 What is visual snow? Can eye drops or any of your eye exercises help? Question 2 6:55 - 12:59 Dr. Berne, has your glutathione drops ever given someone a chronic cough? I read where it is sometimes given to asthma sufferers to clear their passages. Maybe I am allergic to glutathione? Thank you! Question 3 12:59 - 20:06 I have a rare retinal disease called Idiopathic Juxtafoveal Tillandsia Ectasis. I was wondering if you ever heard of it and are you treating people with it? I've had this condition for about 10 years. I am not interested in laser or eye injections. Thank you. Question 4 20:06 - 24:51 Hello, Dr. Sam. I have listed all my eye diagnoses below. What do you recommend in terms of supplements, eye exercises (I don't know which ones to do), or essential oils.    * Lattice degeneration in both eyes* Vitreous syneresis of both eyes. * Dry eye syndrome* Myopia (Right sphere -1.0 and left sphere -2.0)* Ocular migraines caused by bright light with zigzag and flashes.* 1+ nuclear sclerotic cataracts in both eyes. Thank you SO VERY MUCH in advance for your help and also I LOVE your email articles and podcasts!! Question 5 24:51 - 32:08 Hi! I had Lasik surgery when I was 18 years old and now I'm 30 years old. Within the past 2 years I developed white dot syndrome in my left eye and I wanted to know if this diagnosis is related to the Lasik surgery? Is there anything I can do save my vision in my left eye? I have also had an increase of floaters in both eyes and just recently have developed strain where I can feel it in the nerves and muscles of the eyes. On top of all of that I've had dry eyes ever since I got the Lasik done. My question is there anything I can do? I'm still very young and don't want my vision and these feelings to get worse. Thank you!
