Podcast 34: Community Q&A

July 11, 2018 - EyeClarity Podcast

Question 1

Hi, I have just been diagnosed with a problem where there is bleeding in the eye and I have type 2 diabetes. The eye doctor told me I should wait and see, and then get a new appointment for 10 months. BUT, I don’t want to wait and do nothing during that time. I am terrified and I want to do all I can to stop this and hopefully be able to reverse it. Please, could you help me with some suggestions?

Question 2

Hi, I have optic atrophy. I am the third generation in the family with that visual problem. Most of the eye doctors have said there is no cure for optic atrophy. Currently, I am having a problem with visual focusing. What can I do to improve my visual focusing?  

Question 3

I have had painful eyes for nearly a year due to dry-eye syndrome. I keep going back to my eye doctor, but nothing is helping. What can I do?

Question 4

My 11-year-old daughter is wearing progressive lenses, and after listening to your interview on the healthy mom’s podcast, I know I need to get her out of those glasses. What would you recommend I do for her since she currently needs two different prescriptions?
