Dhruvin Patel is an optometrist and founder of Ocushield, pioneering blight filtering technology so as to improve eye health and sleep, leading to a more fulfilling life in general. Dhruvin talks to Angela about the choices we can make on a daily basis to ensure that we are not slowly and insidiously destroying our eyes and our health, and the profound long term effects that can result if we do not begin to take better care. KEY TAKEAWAYS With the rise of computer working, many have failed to consider the long term damage being done by blue light emitted through our displays. Ocushield technology can eliminate this risk. UV protection is vital, even in places such as the UK where it's generally overcast. Just because it's cloudy, doesn't mean that plentiful UV light is not still being emitted. Even though we may believe that we can see very well, weaker eyes are propped up by healthy ones, so ill effects may be masked until it's too late. From a blue light perspective, it's wise to begin now in the implementation of filtering technology in schools, or we may be facing a health crisis en masse in the future. BEST MOMENTS 'Many of us are not as aware as we should be about the things we do on a daily basis that may be damaging our eyes' 'UV light can contribute towards cataracts' 'I really want to help people - to make an impact' 'On average, children are using screens for upwards of six hours per day!'

Currently deploying a newly developed online eye screening test, accessible for the flexible workforce via a web URL. Having received a development grant from City University of London, I built Ocushield into an internationally distributed, MHRA/FDA medically registered product that transformed hundreds of thousands of peoples eye health and quality of life. From humble beginnings to building Ocushield, getting featured on Dragons' Den (and winning over Peter Jones & Tej Lalvani in the process), Forbes, The Guardian & USA Today - talking about eye health and blue light, it's been an entrepreneurial journey full of ups and downs and yes a lot of lessons and joys. At Ocushield, we have helped over 300,000 eyes in over 70 countries with our products to protect their eyes.

I've always prided myself on excellent eyesight. But I have had to concede in recent years that my eyes are simply nowhere near as good as they used to be. I have been trying to convince myself that it's a natural consequence of aging :) After all, many people develop presbyopia as they get older (where you gradually lose the ability to focus on close-up objects).  But I've been forced to admit that aging's role is only a small part of the story for me. Because when it comes to the end of a long day in front of my computer, my eyes just don't work as well. Things get a bit blurry. My eyes are tired and overworked. Dhruvin Patel can help with that. His company is Ocushield, and as you'll hear he's got a deep knowledge of the science of our eyesight and what's going on with screens.    THIS SHOW IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY: BiOptimizers — Four out of five Americans are magnesium deficient, and almost everyone is at suboptimal levels. That's a big problem because magnesium is involved in more than 600 biochemical reactions in your body. Now here's what most people DON'T know: taking just any magnesium supplement won't solve your problem because most supplements use the cheapest kinds that your body can't use or absorb. That's why I exclusively recommend Magnesium Breakthrough. It's the only full-spectrum magnesium supplement with seven unique forms of magnesium that your body can actually use and absorb. When you get all seven critical forms of magnesium, pretty much every function in your body gets upgraded. From your brain to your sleep, pain, inflammation and less stress. Here comes the best part: the makers of Magnesium Breakthrough - BiOptimizers - are having an incredible Black Friday special offer from November 21st to 29th. You can get - not only Magnesium Breakthrough - but all of BiOptimizers best in class products with 25% off. (In the UK, the discount is 10% not 25%)

According to some businesses, the laptop, phone and TV screens we use every day are causing us big problems. They claim these devices emit concentrations of "harmful blue light" which leaves us with tired eyes and poor sleep. One firm goes even further by suggesting this may contribute to a worrying long term condition, macular degeneration which leaves you with a permanent black hole in the centre of your vision. Their solution? A pair of trendy looking spectacles which claim to filter out this blue light. Listener, Sophie spends roughly 12 hours a day at a screen of some sort. She bought a pair but isn't sure if they work. So she's asked Greg to look into them and find out. We get answers from two leading lights in the science of our eyes. Professor John O'Hagan has been a public health scientist for 46 years and is Visiting Professor in Laser and Optical Radiation Safety at Loughborough University. Greg also meets sleep expert Russell Foster, professor of Circadian Neuroscience at the University of Oxford who's been researching body clocks for 38 years. We put the evidence directly to Dhruvin Patel. He's the boss of one of the largest blue light filtering brands, Ocushield which turned over £2m last year. How does he respond? And will Sophie keep using her trendy specs? This series, we're testing your suggested wonder-products. Seen an ad, trend or fad and wonder if there's any evidence to back up the claim? Tell us!

Blue light is all around us, and most of us are unaware. Our screens, the lights in our house, nearly everywhere we look there is blue light. The impact of blue light on our natural circadian rhythms is striking. In the morning this blue light helps us wake effectively, getting us ready for the day. At night, a natural reduction in light from the sun helps us prepare to sleep. This equation worked well thousands of years ago when the only light we had was natural light from our sun. Not so, in modern times. Everything around us is designed to keep us (and, more importantly, our circadian rhythms) thinking it's day time, greatly affecting sleep quality and all the knock-on effects that has on health. To discuss this in episode 45, we're joined by Dhruvin Patel, an optometrist and of founder Ocushield, a company that develops technology to filter out blue light. We found this conversation particularly insightful, not only with respect to the understanding of the role blue light plays in our circadian rhythms and sleep cycle, but also just the eye health plays in overall health. Dhruvin's unique combination of his understanding of optometry, circadian rhythms, sleep, and health/fitness makes him the perfect person to guide us through our understanding of this important concept to help clients become healthier and reach their goals. This is a great deep dive into many topics few fitness professionals likely consider. Not only will the foundations be discussed, but also some actionable and practical takeaways. This is a very high mileage area to address, because it's so ever-present, while at the same time, so minimally considered. Most definitely a conversation you won't want to miss. Show Note Page: https://www.wellnessparadoxpod.com/episode45 Our Guest: Dr. Dhruvin PatelDhruvin Patel is a qualified optometrist, entrepreneur, founder and SeeEO of Ocushield, his company which he started in 2018. Dhruvin's vision is to educate as many people around the world about the importance of improving our eye health as possible, and also about protecting our eyes from the harmful blue light that is being emitted from our smartphones and other tech devices. So far his company Ocushield has helped 100,000 eyes, and delivers eye saving products to over 70 countries. Dhruvin created a range of medically rated anti blue light glasses, protective devices for smartphones, laptops and iPads, as well as a low blue light lamp, the Oculamp. Dhruvin also has a keen philanthropic streak, which is why for every $1 spent with Ocushield, he has pledged to match this as a donation to Orbis, a charity which operates a flying eye hospital and which pioneers research to help combat serious eye diseases and blindness. 

In this week's episode, I am so happy to have on the show Dhruvin Patel he is an Optometrist and the founder of one of the most popular blue light blocker products in the market right now Ocushield. Dhruvin will share how blue light and other light exposure can harm our vision which can also affect our sleep and health.
