How to Improve Your Eye Health & Offset Vision Loss | Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg

In this episode, my guest is Jeffrey Goldberg, MD, PhD, professor
and chair of the department of ophthalmology at the Byers Eye
Institute at Stanford University. His clinical and research efforts
focus on retinal and optic nerve diseases such as glaucoma and
discovering stem cell and nanotechnology treatments to cure
blindness. We discuss how to maintain and improve eye health
throughout life, the advantages and disadvantages of corrective
lenses, including if you should wear “readers,” the use and risks
of contact lenses, considerations for LASIK eye surgery, floaters,
dry eye, the importance of sunlight and UV protection and specific
exercises to improve eye and vision health. Dr. Goldberg also
explains age-related conditions: cataracts, glaucoma, macular
degeneration and diabetic retinopathy; and the behavioral and
supplementation-based, prescription and surgical tools used to
promote eye health. This episode provides essential tools for
listeners of any age and background to maintain eye health and
offset vision loss. For the full show notes, visit hubermanlab.com.
