In this episode, Nathan Oxenfeld announces the untimely loss of his friend and colleague Esther Joy van der Werf. Nathan and Esther had been teaming up on the Better Eyesight Podcast from 2019-2025, releasing new episodes on the 1st of every month where they read the original Better Eyesight Magazine articles from 100 years prior, which then spurred rich discussions between teachers and listeners in the monthly Better Eyesight League Meetings. Esther was passionate about educating as many people as possible about natural vision improvement, as well as creating communities around that mission. For more of Nathan's reflections, you can listen to the special Better Eyesight Podcast episode called "Remembering Esther", or go to www.integraleyesight.com/esther to see some photos from their times together over the years. As a way to honor and remember Esther, Nathan is re-releasing Episode 25 of The Naked Eye Podcast from 2018 when he interviewed Esther for the very first time. This conversation is a big part of what led to the creation of the Better Eyesight Podcast the following year in 2019.

In this episode I share my jet-lagged reflections after speaking at the Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative Symposium. As an ambassador for the initiative, I discuss the fight against diabetic retinopathy, the most common cause of vision loss in people with diabetes, and the ongoing advancements in diagnostics and treatments. I also address your questions, including the challenges of astigmatism, the discomfort of modern headlights, and long-term effects of nystagmus.  Takeaways: Diabetic Retinopathy Is a Leading Cause of Vision Loss: Dr. Flannery explains how diabetes damages the small blood vessels in the retina, leading to blindness if untreated, and highlights the importance of early detection. Mary Tyler Moore Vision Initiative: This nonprofit is advancing research and treatment options for diabetic retinopathy, focusing on reducing the devastating impact of this disease. Astigmatism and Night Driving: Dr. Flannery discusses the challenges astigmatism poses, especially with modern LED headlights, and highlights solutions like glasses, contact lenses, and specialized intraocular lenses. Nystagmus and Eye Movement: He explains why people with congenital nystagmus often don't perceive the motion of their eyes and debunks concerns about long-term damage from constant eye movement. The Power of Advocacy: Through his work with the Mary Tyler Moore initiative and engaging with fans, Dr. Flannery emphasizes the importance of education and community in addressing preventable vision loss. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

There's the peripheral vision, the binocular vision, how the eyes work together, the night vision, the color vision, all these things have to work together to give you optimal vision." — Claudia Muehlenweg "When you go on your next walk, notice when you go up, it seems like the room goes down. Obviously, you are the one moving, but it's that sensation that everything is always fluid and moving. And that might initially be when you're staring, when you're used to that strain with the glasses that might feel very unsettling.

Psychosomatics refers to the idea that a person's psychological and emotional state can influence their physical health and well-being. In the case of eye problems like astigmatism, some experts believe that stress and other emotional factors can play a role in the development and worsening of this condition.Astigmatism is a common eye condition that affects the shape of the cornea, causing light to focus on two different points instead of one. This can result in blurred or distorted vision. While the exact cause of astigmatism is not known, some research suggests that stress and other psychological factors can contribute to its development or worsen its symptoms.Studies have shown that stress can impact eye health in a number of ways, including causing eye strain, dry eyes, and even changes in the shape of the cornea. In addition, some experts believe that psychological stress can impact the release of certain hormones that can affect the shape and stability of the cornea.While the relationship between psychosomatics and astigmatism is not fully understood, it is important to address stress and other emotional factors when it comes to managing eye health. This can involve practicing stress management techniques like meditation, deep breathing, and exercise, as well as seeking treatment for any underlying psychological conditions like anxiety or depression.It's also important to have regular eye exams and to practice good eye health habits, like wearing protective eyewear and avoiding activities that can cause eye strain, like prolonged computer use. By addressing both physical and psychological factors, you can help maintain good eye health and reduce the risk of developing or worsening astigmatism.

Host Ben LaHood, MBChB, PGDipOphth, PhD, FRANZCO, FWCRS, and guest Florian T.A. Kretz, MD, FEBO, discuss optimizing the A-constant and surgically induced astigmatism in cataract surgery—two topics featured in CRST's recent cover focus on astigmatism management. Together they delve into the multifaceted nature of A-constant optimization and the complex challenges of surgically induced astigmatism.

Femtosecond Laser Assisted Cataract Surgery (FLACS) has been around for over a decade, yet there isn't necessarily consensus amongst the eye care community as to how this technology should be implemented within cataract surgery. Some advocate strongly for FLACS, citing greater reliability and precision than traditional cataract surgery. Others have argued, however, that even if the femtosecond technology has improved accuracy, this doesn't necessarily mean that it translates to better cataract surgery results. Dr. Eric Donnenfeld joins the podcast.

This episode answers questions related to dry eyes, floaters, astigmatism, myopia, eye exercises, floaters, flashes, recovering from corneal surgery, and the importance of iron for eye health. Question 1 0:00 - 5:48 Hello, I'm wondering... is there a set of exercises you recommend if someone like me has multiple conditions? I have Dry Eye, Floaters, Red eyes, Astigmatism, and Myopia.” I wonder if doing everything suggested each day for each exercise would be a bit too much for me to get into the habit of doing. Question 2 5:49 - 11:57 Hello, my husband has these little pallets or bumps on the corner and one on his eyelid. He went into the eye doc and he gave him a steroid shot in the area. (NOT FUN) They went away but have returned. We really try and do things holistically but do not have a holistic eye person around us. Is there something else he should take internally to try and clear this up? Question 3 11:57 - 16:05 Hello Dr. Berne.... I thank you for your response to my last question. I hate to bother you again but I went to my cornea transplant specialist. He says that the transplant is losing cell count and I am wondering if using the MSM drops as you suggested will help fix that in any way? If you have any other suggestions please let me know I appreciate it. Question 4 16:05 - 20:38 Hello, Dr. Berne! Firstly, I'd like to say that you're doing a great job. I watched your videos and found for myself very interesting information. Also, I'd like to ask your opinion about the iron. I've heard that normal level of iron in the body is one of the most important things for vision. Could you please share your thoughts about it? Question 5 20:38 - 26:43 Dr. Berne, I have flashers when looking into the light. This is from cataract surgery/infection, I had on Aug 24th of this year. I still cannot read with that eye due to debris/floaters. WHY flashers? Is there a chance they will stop? I must wear a patch now to avoid the constant interruptions of flashers.
