Dear Dr. Berne,

I subscribe to your emails and am a huge fan.  Thank you for all you do and especially, thanks for your out-of-the-box thinking. I hope you can direct me somewhere for help with my eye problem.

My left eyelid twitch came on while was eating lunch back in 2016. It felt like there was something in my eye, but I couldn’t get it out. It went away later in the day. By now it’s become a frequent problem, especially when I read. And it occasionally involves the left side of my face, which has become lined although the right side has not. Ophthalmologists say that something is pressing on a facial nerve and there’s no solution except botox and unadvised surgery.  I think it may be related to either mercury in dental fillings or a chronic sinus infection.

My question is, have you ever heard of this problem and is there a natural way to fix it? If so, do you deal with problems like this or know of physicians who do?  I don’t know where else to turn.

6:19 – 12.03

Good evening Dr. Berne,

I watched your podcast with Ari and I have been struggling with my vision all my life, but especially in the past three years. I was born with a lazy eye and was told by my fourth-grade teacher I had a reading comprehension issue, so I also learned through memorization. And three years ago was diagnosed with Nystagmus and Central Serous Retinopathy. I have progressive lenses and my ability to see things close up is near impossible…completely blurred. I do experience floaters as well. My eyes do not work in harmony. I think my biggest issue is sleep and stress. I am a personal trainer and eat well but do need to increase my greens.

Can you help direct me in where to start? I have been praying for the restoration of my vision, for my eyes to work in harmony and to see 20/20. My glasses are so thick particularly in my right eye and stick out of the frame. It’s always been an insecurity for me. Any advice would be a blessing. Thank you so much!

12:04 – 15.10

Dear Dr. Sam Berne,

I have diabetes and now my vision is blurry, especially when in the son. I am vegan and my blood sugar is under control. What should I be considering?

15:12 – 18:28:

I saw an eye specialist in Boston a couple of years ago regarding a film I have in my right eye. They tested it and said there are not much to do other than surgery and that the surgery is not always successful at removing the film. Any suggestions?
