This episode answers questions related to underdeveloped optic nerves in children, Central Retinal Vein Occlusion, Dry eye syndrome, and how to perform the plus lens to blur eye exercise.
Question 1
0:44 – 11:51
I am seeking information about underdeveloped optic nerves in children. My 9-year-old daughter just visited the eye doctor for the first time, and we were told she has an underdeveloped optic nerve.
After reading about how this condition can affect the pituitary gland, a lot of dots have been connected as to what has been going on with my daughter. She can’t handle hot weather, she gets dehydrated, she has low blood sugar issues, and she has fainted a few times, and she has low energy.
Our pediatrician always just said they’ll keep an eye on these issues but never recommended seeing a specialist. I’m looking for some guidance as to how I can help my daughter so she can function as a normal kid in the summer and not have to worry about fainting or getting lightheaded. Any information or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Question 2
11:51 – 18:01
I appreciate your podcasts and supplements. It all makes a lot of sense! I have a question about the plus lens exercise. My eyes used to be very near-sighted at -7.25 and then I had PRK about 20 years ago. My left eye is nearly 20/20 but my right eye didn’t heal right, the PRK was redone and now it’s +4.00.
My question is about using the plus lens exercise. Does that make sense for one eye or both? Would they both use a plus lens for this exercise or would the right eye be better with a minus lens? Thank you!
Question 3
18:01 – 24:50
I have been diagnosed with Central Retinal Vein Occlusion. What can I
Question 4
24:50 – 30:41
I feel I have benefited these last few years from your supplements and drops however still dealing with dry eyes. Clearly this is related to computer use. How do the fats in the ketogenic diet affect eye health?
