Andrew, when I was 9 years old a little girl stuck a sowing pin in my eye (by accident) and I didn't tell anyone I couldn't see from that eye for days. But my mothers intuition saved me. I lost my retna and have a pin hole in my eye since. From the time I was 9 I used a corrective contact lense. The doctor said I had to wait until I was fully grown to place an implant corrective lense. All those years, I never let it stop me. I played baseball until well into my 20s with one eye basically, played sports, swam EVERYTHING! As normal. When I hit 30 the first thing I did was go get an implant done. This was done in the Ear and Eye institute in Manhattan NYC. Since then, I've had an implant for 10+ years now. I understand the importance of vision. But, more importantly I've learned how to do what you can, with what you have. I say all this to say, my "Good" eye, the one I've survived with all these years is starting to lose its power. And I'm hoping after I watch this video, I have hope to not lose my "Good" eyes vision. My "bad" eye is not so bad given the circumstance, or maybe that's just my optimism :) lol that never gives up. Thanks for the video "A" God bless

[@misse8031]

Rubbing castor oil on your eyelids before you go to bed helps with improving vision as well. Olivus olive leaf extract help with inflammation in the body so it's good for overall health. I pray for your complete and utter healing for both your eyes that will have 20/20 vision 🙏🏾 ❤❤❤❤

This is my 1st time hearing/watching Hubberman Lab podcast. I'm currently recovering from endovascular coiling of a giant unruptured ICA brain aneurysm (32mm x 28mm) which left me with ptosis and strabismus in my right eye 4 months ago. It is a humbling and very frustrating experience. I'm hoping that this will correct itself soon without surgery, but I'm not very optimistic. One thing I have learned is to never take for granted the importance of good vision in both eyes. It is a major visual deficit having one eye which is unable to work with the other one. Take care of your eyes, people!

Excellent timing for me on this subject. I had SLT last month. Been on eye drops for about 9 months. Dr had given me the option a second of set of eye drops instead. I had decided to treat this as aggressively as possible even if the cost was out of pocket. Advantage plan has minimal vision coverage, but medical took care of most of the cost. As I told the specialist, I need at least 20-25 years of good vision. I'm 68, 69 in a couple of months, and planning on at least 95. Cataract surgery also on the the horizon in a few years. Otherwise good health, no meds, low BP, glucose a little high at 106 but rock steady very stable(A1c-5.5, fasting insulin 4.8), nominal weight, trigs-48, hdl-82, omad low carb, mostly carnivore, need to exercise a little more, get that muscle mass up.

I started wearing glasses for nearsightedness at age 9. I started eating eating a whole food, plant based, SOS (sugar, oil, salt free) free diet for about the last 7 years. When I had my eyesight tested, about 3 years ago, my eyesight had improved so dramatically that my eye doctor said I did not have to wear glasses unless I wanted to. I think this may be because my diet is low fat and full of healthful antioxidants. My eyesight had only declined up until I went whole food, plant based. My many health issues, such as migraines, sciatica, low energy, etc. have disappeared since adopting this diet.

[@maureenk1635]

I forgot to mention that I am in my 60's.

[@maureenk1635]

Also, I have no evidence of cataracts. My mother, who I very strongly resemble, had had cataract surgery by the time she was my age. She ate pretty healthfully compared to most Americans, but she did eat animal products, dairy, cheese, meat, poultry, fish, along with lots of salads and fruit. Cut out the animal products for a month and increase your greens (especially dark, leafy greens, cruciferous, veggies), berries, fruit, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, and see if your eyesight improves. Eating as many dark, leafy greens as possible helps prevent food cravings according to research, and I have found this to be true for me.

I’m supposed to see an ophthalmologist to help release pressure and they’ve canceled my appointment 3 times already. Next appointment is late September. No sense of urgency for them and I’m left hanging. It makes me sad as I’m an artist and it’s getting more and more difficult to create.

As someone who has dealt with floaters over the past 30 years I can assure you they don’t “just go away”. But I completely agree that the only known corrective procedure isn’t worth the risk.

[@sdlaws213]

I agree...floaters do not just go away. When I started seeing floaters, they were a symptom of retina tears in both of my eyes. I had to have laser photocoagulation on both my eyes to repair the tears. My ophthalmologist said that if I had waited just a few more days to see him, my retina would have fully detached, which could have resulted in blindness and emergency surgery. Please do not dismiss floaters and wait for them to just go away.

[@iron_oddity]

Jordan Peterson said his went away after switching to carnivore diet

[@adevore1971]

It's probably just mucousy dairy products causing floaters

[@susanswinny588]

I'm a person who experienced many retinal tears in both eyes, especially my left eye. Numerous laser photocoagulation treatments were needed to prevent these tears from traveling from the peripheral retina to the macula or central retina. The tears caused shaded areas of my peripheral vision sometimes. I experienced tons of floaters in my life. After about 10 office visits for laser treatment of various tears, I woke up one morning and could see only a constant swirling of black dots against a white background from my left eye. The swirling black dots made me nauseous and I know these symptoms can't wait more than a day to be fixed. I went to my retina doctor's office late afternoon and he lasered my left eye and restored my vision. A few weeks later, I bent down to pet the cat on the floor and my left eye hemorrhaged, filling with blood I was later told. My left eye sight was completely blocked. My doctor advised me to have a vitrectomy in 2 weeks if the vitreous didn't clear. After 2 weeks, the vision wasn't as red or dark, but was still too murky to see anything. I had the vitrectomy to replace the old vitreous with saline solution and to laser a horseshoe shaped barrier of scar tissue surrounding the macula to protect it from future tears that could blind me if they traveled into my macula. The horseshoe barrier and those tiny tears are very prominent today on an image of my left retina, almost 20 years later. But they don't interfere at all with my left eye vision because they are outside my central vision My doctor cautioned me that I'd probably need a cataract surgery on my left eye in a few years because the vitrectomy causes cataract. He was right. I now have an intraocular lens implant in my left eye from cataract surgery. Today, my left eye has 20-15 vision. A miracle. This is an example of when a vitrectomy is used and the risks involved. I have a regular ophthalmologist who takes care of my vision, cataract and glaucoma. I consider both my eye doctors to be the best there are. Doctors aren't perfect but I imagine I might be blind in my left eye today without their intervention.

My experience and what i have read, eye floaters almost never "go away" some busy people get used to them, brain learns to filter them out from your vision, but physically they are still there and over time only attract more material to glumb together even more. Mine gets worse year by year and my brain have never been able to learn ignore them effectively and ongoingly. And what I have read online from other floater sufferers, its very rare for them to clear out on their own and how even would they. Floater are almost anchored to one place in eye ball gel space, they move a lot sure but are mostly always at around same space. Still eye doctors and specialist keep repeating this same mantra that they "go away" on their own with time, I find this to be just filler distraction to not operate otherwise healthy eye and to try to keep patient hopeful for future.

Andrew, thank you for covering this topic. Incredibly insightful! As someone who was born with one eye smaller than the other, I've been through (and continue to go through) annual screenings with my Ophthalmologist. My smaller eye drifted out (I had surgery in my late 20s to straighten the eye), but the lens had a cataract (believed to be there since birth). In my 40's, the cataract had grown causing both angles to close, which increased the eye pressure to 50 (excruciating pain). The doctor tried an emergency laser treatment to drill through the lens to reduce the pressure, however was not able to pierce the lens. Two days later, I underwent a successful lens replacement surgery at UCLA's Jules Stein Eye Institute. They did a terrific job for which I am eternally grateful. I never had much vision out of that eye (other than seeing light, some peripheral vision and hand movements when held close to the eye). The new lens did let more light into the eye, which is some improvement.

I have improved my blepharitis by taking NAC (makes the mucus less thick) and astaxanthin. I massage my eyelids with wet makeup pads under the shower. Eye drops didn’t seem to work. With dry eyes it helps to put your tv and other screens a bit lower, so your eyes don’t need to be wide open to look at it. Plus an air humidifier helps.

[@paulawarner9623]

This has been tremendously helpful. I'm personally working on correcting my myopia. I especially appreciate the info about light exposure, supplementation, and exercise. As a veteran structural integration therapist, my take on eye twitching is two-fold, with both parts being stress-related: 1) it ALWAYS includes clenching of the jaw. I believe the "bad" nerve ending Dr. Goldberg refers to is long-term constriction in the muscles and fascia of the head and neck, especially since the nerves to the eyes come from the base of the skull, right? And 2) it tends to go hand in hand with people who are mineral deficient, especially in magnesium. Of course, the neurophysiology and chemistry of our systems are very much entertwined, so it seems logical for an imbalance in both to result in dysfunction, and, for some people, the manifestation is in the eyes. I believe the same causes are at play for other "twitching" that presents, such as restless leg syndrome. It's an interference in all the pathways connecting our parts. In my experience, calming the nervous system in all the ways we can and getting our chemistry balanced is a reasonable solution. Your focus on lifestyle factors is substantial and progressive! Thank you for sharing your passion for science. 🙏✌️😁

NMN “anecdotic” observation here - about 16 months ago i started taking NMN, for anti-aging and fertility reasons. Recently i had an eye exam done by an ophthalmologist and she said that my eyesight had improved. I had been wearing -1 for almost 10years, and now my correction should be -0.5 in both eyes. I had noticed that I could do without my contact lenses in more situations, but I had not thought that it was an actual measurable improvement. I thought this might be of some interest - though anecdotic :)

I have never smoked, I wear sunglasses religiously, my blood sugar is normal, I am not overweight, I don't eat a lot of carbohydrates, don't have a family history of eye problems and so on, and so on. And yet out of the blue I recently had a big retinal tear(s) and am now at risk of more serious conditions. No swimming, no jogging, no gym allowed at the moment. I am shocked that there is nothing that one can do to avoid further tears, and that there is almost no research about possible prevention (I am very grateful that they have now lasers to treat retinal tears - and that it may help to avoid the detachment but this isn't prevention). No longevity guru talks about things like this. Such things practically annul everything that one can do to preserve one's health.

[@GodsOath_com]

I'm 59, experiencing greater myopia, probably bc of screen time, but also interestingly enough to me, being inside 100% due to living in a place that's too hot to be outside for longer then a few minutes. The only time my near sightedness improved at least 1 diopter was in my 40s when when I was outside a lot, but also exercising to maintain fitness for skiing 40-60 days per year. I think the exercise had more to do with it probably, but I definitely was at higher altitudes often in those years and my prescription improved then maintained at a reduced strength. At about 54 was when I noticed my vision declining again, and now since not having a lot of activity and being inside 100% it's gotten pretty bad. My progressive lenses aren't correcting close up and my readers aren't good at half arms length. Just got new glasses. So I think I'll be trying to get outside a few minutes more daily and see what that does. Good discussion.

Hey Andrew. Thanks for covering this topic. If you'll follow up with dr. Goldberg in another episode or do another podcast related to eye health, please consider bringing up keratoconus. It's really not addressed anywhere and gets kind of hidden from all eye health debates.

I am fortunate that I only have keratoconus affecting one eye, so my good eye has been my saving grace for over 25 years. Since my brain compensates for the vision loss in the "bad" eye, I have not used any contact lenses for over 10 years since it broke - apparently my RGP prescription lense costs around £1,000! - Most people have never heard of keratoconus, so I would also very much appreciate some information regarding this condition as both of my daughters have now been also diagnosed with it.

I wish there was a little more advice on what a person can do to keep age related macular degeneration from progressing further. Dr. Goldberg talks about ways to improve Diiabetic Retinopathy by lowering blood pressure, blood sugar, etc., (mostly through diet) but nothing about ways to keep AMD at bay, or to progress at a much slower rate. Do those with AMD need to wear UV sunglasses always while out in the sun, vitamins and minerals we can take, etc.

[@jonoave]

For AMD, the most popular recommendation is the AREDS formula supplement: Lutein, zeaxanthin, zinc, vitamin E. Personally I prefer taking a multivitamin to cover the bases, and then take a supplement with Lutein, Zeaxanthin and also mesozeaxanthin. Other supplements that could potentially useful is astaxanthin, gingko (it's a blood thinner and can interact with BP medication, so talk to a doctor), and omega 3.

Talking about driving and night vision, I may have missed this, but did you discuss pupil shrinkage that can come with aging? Some of the challenges with night vision while driving are impacted by pupil shrinkage. Headlights used to have more yellow or amber base but they have gone to halogens and LED’s with strong cooler blue white light frequencies When facing them in oncoming traffic, our pupils shrink reducing even further the light we can bring into the eye. This makes it much harder to see road markings, street signs, curbs, and edges of roads. To combat this I started wearing yellow fishing /shooting lenses at night when I drive, it is amazing how it evens out or neutralize the shock of blue white frequencies of the oncoming headlights, soften the halogens and LED’s and allowing me to see the road markings and curbs in intersections.

[@franciscoreyes4067]

1:00:00 One of the reason why you can see better at day is because of the iris acting like a diaphragm of a camera lens, when you are in a bright environment, the hole becomes smaller and less light enter, so the depth of field increases.

[@Thefloaterdoctor1]

Regarding EYE FLOATERS: Dr. Goldberg is perpetuating the standard reassurances of "Give it time, they will go away". My ophthalmology practice is exclusively dedicated to the management and treatment of eye floaters, and I have 16+ years worth of patients who will beg to differ with the 'wait and see' advice. It is the same advice I offered when I was doing general ophthalmology. The field of eye care still does not consider floaters to be a primary concern. While they may not be 'pathology' in the same way as macular degeneration or optic nerve tissue loss from glaucoma, they are still a very significant issue in terms of quality of vision and quality of life. I have seen many patients who have some mild clouding of their lens and they are scheduled immediately for cataract surgery, but when they have much more significant clouding and intermittent obstruction of their vision they are told their brain will neuro-adapt and their drop out of the way. hint: They don't. These are very good and competent doctors, but the prevailing attitude is just a reflection of the fact that we have not had a plug and play, consistent, one-and-done way to treat floaters in the same way that cataracts and corneal refractive surgery work. I would challenge Dr. Goldberg and ask him how benign these floater are if he had to stop in the middle of his surgeries, and shake the floaters out of the middle of his visual field before proceeding. And let's not ignore the elephant in the room. There is a very strong association of floaters and anxiety/depression especially in the younger floater sufferers. Even the surgical vitrectomy is dismissed here as too dangerous... have you read the informed consent for cataract surgery, or LASIK? These are done all the time but the risks can be significant. We all have to accept risk, but we also need to ask " Do the benefits well outweigh the risks? Sometimes the surgical option is justified. Floater sufferers... if you feel you are being gaslit when you are told nothing can be done, trust that feeling. Otherwise, lots of respect to both Drs. Goldman and Huberman. Very comprehensive coverage of complex topics. -Dr. Johnson | The Floater Doctor
