This episode answers questions related to pathological myopia, neovascularization, dry eyes, optic neuritis, glaucoma and epiretinal membrane.
Question 1
0:00 – 12:52
My 15-year-old daughter has had pathological myopia since before 5 years of age. She’s been wearing corrective lenses and recently was diagnosed with neovascularization. She had her first Lucentis injection, and her eye cleared up leaving a small scar.
My husband and I want a holistic approach for our Angelina to aid as a preventive and overall eye health solution rather than have her get shots for damage already done. We appreciate any advice or suggestions for us to be able to preserve Angelina’s eyesight.
I’ve been giving her Omega 3 foods like Salmon, nuts, and cod liver oil, citrus fruits, and leafy green vegetables. Thank you.
Question 2
12:52 – 21:01
I would like to order some supplements and need suggestions on what might be helpful. I am 67, and the blue headlights are hurting my eyes at night. I also have dry eye syndrome, and my eyes are tired.
Can you tell me about photobiomodulation as a treatment modality? I try to do use this modality every night now for sleep. What do you think I should be doing?
Question 3
21:01 – 26:30
Hi, Dr. Berne! Your site is great! Thank you for all of the educational info that you provide. I was wondering if you could do a blog post or a video about Optic Neuritis?
I was diagnosed with this in my left eye a couple of years ago. I lost partial vision in that eye. I’ve not been able to find any information about what the root cause could be.
I had an autoimmunity test done to make sure that I do not have M.S. and I don’t… it was negative. The doctor called it “idiopathic” which seems ridiculous. I want to be proactive to prevent this from progressing further and from occurring in the other eye.
Do you have thoughts about what else someone with Optic Neuritis should be tested for? Heavy metals, parasites, viruses, etc.? I certainly appreciate your help! Cheers.
Question 4
26:30 – 29:39
Hi, I am 58 years old. I have been diagnosed with glaucoma. I suffer anxiety, and I am receiving some mental health counseling. What can you offer me?
Question 5
29:40 – 37:01
I have recently been diagnosed with epiretinal membrane pseudo-hole. What supplements would be good for that?
I’m considering some kind of drops, and I would also like a supplement with Lutein in it. Also, I am wondering about the best eye exercises.
I am using the Amsler grid chart every day to monitor the macula. Thanks for any help you can offer!
