  For those of you who don&apos;t feel like watching the whole video ...<br><br>This video debunks common myths about eye health, especially around blue light and floaters. Contrary to popular belief, blue light from screens doesn’t increase the risk of eye diseases, though it can affect sleep. To reduce blue light exposure, simply increase the distance between your eyes and screens. As for floaters, they’re usually harmless but could occasionally signal a retinal tear, so regular eye checkups are essential.<br><br>Eye health is also strongly influenced by lifestyle. Spending more time outdoors can slow the progression of nearsightedness (myopia), which is expected to affect 50% of the global population by 2050. A Mediterranean diet, rich in leafy greens and fish, helps reduce the risk of age-related eye diseases like macular degeneration. Lastly, annual eye exams can detect early signs of serious conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, and even brain tumors.<br><br>Take care of your eyes – they’re your window to the world!

  Our doctor ignored my mother&apos;s chronic migraines for nearly 10 years. Tried telling her it was basically in her head because she didn&apos;t really respond to the pills he kept prescribing. After 10 years, she gave up hope. We were about to fly abroad to visit my grandparents in a couple weeks, so she decided to go get new glasses. The optometrist took one look in her eyes with a light, told her to cancel our flights and go straight to the hospital. She immediately began making phone calls to ensure my mother would be seen. She had a 6 inch diameter brain tumor that would likely have killed her with pressure changes on the flight. My brother and I were 13 and 14 and she might have died next to us on an 8 hour flight. Our optometrist saved her life. Our doctor was pissed and asked my mother why she hadn&apos;t gone to him. Like dude, you had 10 years to figure this out (the surgeon confirmed it was slow growing and had likely been there for a decade). He wasn&apos;t entirely wrong I guess. It was all in her head. 😅🤦‍♀️

  My mom was sick for a couple of months, and doctors diagnosed her with asthma. Treatments were not working. She started seeing a lot of black floaters one day. Went to a retina specialist the same day. He looked in her left eye and said he could see blood pumping into her eyeball, and it looked like leukemia cells! He said to get to the hospital for life-saving measures. Sure enough, she was diagnosed with AML. She had a brain bleed, eye bleed, a clot by her liver, and a pulmonary embolism. That&apos;s why she couldn&apos;t breathe for 2 months. Not asthma! That retina doctor saved my moms life. Kudos to eye doctors!❤

  I loved how this guy was willing to talk about a painful ,often lonely childhood ,and brings up sibling bullying......which parents often ignore.......his having to wear glasses and how all of this helped him to look for things that fed his soul like being fascinated with his eye doctor and his situation that ultimately led to his current profession.....his humanity and ability to relate to the human condition , his awareness self reflection makes him so relateable

  My son&apos;s co workers grandson was getting headaches, so he first was taken to the eye doctor, by the way I beleive he was 9 years old. &nbsp;The eye doctor told her to go straight to the emergency room and not to wait, turned out that he had a tumor which turned out to be cancer. He had to have surgery and chemo. &nbsp;He&apos;s doing fine now it&apos;s been some years now. &nbsp;This eye doctor saved his life. ❤

  Father became blind from massive hemorrhage caused by Dr tried to run heart catheter from groin vein to heart while dad was filled with strepkinase, heparin etc. Dad revived from heart attack, survived the following day hemorrhage. His optic nerves were completely gray from no blood. But within 6 months he could see light and dark,colors. By 4 yrs he could see described as seeing out through hundreds of tiny tunnels. He was given special glasses and a machine that put the tunnels together so he could see a photo intact. He cried seeing photos of his grand kids and couldn&apos;t get over how beautiful they are. His optic nerves were still gray and shot. But upon mri, an area above his ears would show processing visual things. He was a miracle man and seen by 28 eye specialist from that hospital Bascolm Palmer and all over. The brain had rewired itself to gain back sight.

  Do one about dentistry. That industry looks like it&apos;s stuck in the XXth century.

  Steven, it&apos;s incredible how skilled you are at conversations - you truly know when to hold back and let the speaker finish. This was especially evident at the end of the conversation. It takes a tremendous amount of emotional intelligence to handle discussions this way.

  I had coke bottle lense glasses from age 13. At 45 I had LASIK surgery (my surgeon was Dr Peter Campbell a protégée of the late great Professor Fred Hollows …lucky me). I had one eye done for close up &amp; the other for distance. Ever since, I’m now 65, I can see leaves on the very top of trees clear as a bell, and can thread a needle. (If the lighting is very poor I use magnifying reading glasses occasionally.) It changed my life and has not changed now for 20 years. So blessed.

  What a sweet man. It&apos;s so sad he had a brother who bullied him. But look at his accomplishment. He is a gift to the world.❤
