Retinal Hole

A Retinal Hole is a very serious sight-threatening condition. The retina is a very vulnerable tissue in the back of the eye. Because of its vulnerability and integrity, there are many reasons why we need to take really good care of our retinas. So let's take a look at what causes retinal holes and what you can do about them. Enjoy the show. If you want more, sign up for my newsletter at: www.drsamberne.com.

Hey everyone, its Dr. Sam and I'd like to welcome you to my EyeClarity podcast today, I'm taking a hike up in the Carson National Forest, just outside of Taos, New Mexico. So I received a question from a listener who's got a very serious condition called a retinal hole. And she wants to know what my advice is? Well, first of all, this is a very serious sight-threatening condition. You know, the retina is a very vulnerable tissue in the back of the eye. And it's made up of over 130 million photoreceptors. And because of its vulnerable, integrity, there are many reasons why we need to take really good care of our retinas. Some of the causes of retinal holes could be moderate to high amount of nearsightedness, or astigmatism. The result of eye surgeries, eye trauma and metabolic imbalances, and this is what I want to focus on here. Because, you know, when we go to the doctor and we get a diagnosis, most likely the condition has been happening for a while. It's just now you know about it. And so it's a signal to say, Okay, where am I not imbalance. And with a retinal hole, the retina first of all needs a lot of fatty acids, omega three fatty acids. In fact, the part of the Omega three that we need the most is the d h, a part of the Omega three, we do not make omega three, we need to get it from outside sources. So that is one of the proactive things that you could do. Another thing that you could do would be to make sure you're getting enough of the retinol carotenoids, you've heard me talk about these lutein, zeaxanthin and acids Anthon. Some really good food sources for lutein and zeaxanthin would be the red, orange, yellow green vegetables. For Astra Xanthine. That's a marine carotenoid, you could always do a micro algae supplement. Or if you can get some wild caught salmon. That would be another way to get your ass to Xanten. Vitamin A is also really important. And one of the issues I see is that people do get vitamin A, but they're not absorbing the vitamin A, it's a fat soluble vitamin. And so you may need to check in with your gallbladder and liver health. And remember, the liver produces bile, and the gallbladder stores it and one of the things that you need in order to be able to absorb vitamin A is bio. And this would go hand in hand with also lutein and zeaxanthin, which are also fat soluble phytochemicals. So you could check this out with a blood panel with a doctor a functional medicine doctor, or you could go to a Chinese medicine doctor and they could read your pulses, and tell you that way. Some other aspects about retinal holes is a lot of it depends on the location and the depth of the hole. Of course, if it's not in your line of vision, if it's off in the periphery, you may be able to bide some time,
