This is a show that offers cutting edge information on how to improve your vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. I so appreciate you spending part of your day with me. If you have questions, you can send them to [email protected]. All right, Justine, you're the last one. So, tell me a little bit about your vision and how you became nearsighted. And now what was your what's your history?   00:16 Yeah, so I started wearing glasses when I was in fifth grade. And my optometrist prescribed me very strong minus lenses, and didn't tell me anything about visual habits. So I used to color and write really close to the page. And I used to watch TV, you know, from the distance of this computer screen. And so my prescription just continued to climb and climb and climb throughout school. And it wasn't until optometry school that I learned about good visual habits, about you know, relaxing your vision going outside, you know, not being so glued to the screens. But you know, with COVID and technology nowadays, we're always on our screens. And so I do vision therapy with patients. And so I'm actively doing the exercises with them, especially the diverging activities. And what I'm finding is I'm approaching 36 now, and I'm feeling like I'm getting early presbyopic kind of symptoms, where long term your work, it's starting to give me strain and headaches, and I even put a little bit of bass in prison and my glasses just to help with that. But I'm still finding that my eyes get really tired by the end of the day.   01:41 Okay, well, one thing I can say right off the bat, that can really help you is have you ever thought about wanting to reduce prescription?   01:50 Yes, that is what I would love to strive to do.   01:54 Okay. So the way we should do this is, if you've got some filters, and you can get them then what will happen is I'm gonna have you wear them over this, and I'm gonna have no,   02:08 okay, I've got it. I've got.   02:10 So this is a plus 50. And I just want you to wear it over Are you minus six? Like, are you   02:16 are you so I'm actually I'm not minus six. So this one here minus 375 minus 175. Sell. So spherical equivalent is about a five ish, and then left is a minus five. So a lot of so here, zero so   02:33 so we're going to try a couple of things. So put the plus with these over the glasses. Okay, so what do you feel? Comfortable? Some people what's the difference?   02:48 Yes. So definitely more clarity, but I also feel more center not as peripheral. And then when I put these on blurrier, but I feel more open and peripheral things are a little bit bigger.   03:04
