In this episode of Knock Knock Eye, I discuss important eye conditions in children that should never be ignored. From aggressive blinking and rubbing to the misalignment of eyes (strabismus), I explain how early detection of these symptoms can save a child's vision. I also delves into congenital glaucoma, blocked tear ducts, and other common pediatric eye conditions, emphasizing the importance of timely diagnosis. Whether you're a parent or healthcare provider, this episode provides valuable insights on protecting children's eye health. Takeaways: Blinking and Rubbing May Indicate Vision Problems: Children who frequently rub or blink their eyes aggressively may have refractive errors, such as nearsightedness or farsightedness, which can be corrected with early intervention. Misaligned Eyes (Strabismus) Can Lead to Vision Loss: If one of a child's eyes is misaligned or appears "lazy," this could indicate strabismus, which, if untreated, can lead to permanent vision loss (amblyopia). Tearing in Infants Could Be a Sign of Congenital Glaucoma: Dr. Flannery explains that excessive tearing in newborns may be an early sign of congenital glaucoma, a rare but serious condition that requires immediate attention. New Spots on the Eyes Need Examination: If a new spot appears on the white of a child's eye, it's essential to have it examined by an ophthalmologist, as it could be a benign nevus or something more serious, like a melanoma. Difference in Pupil Size (Anisocoria) Could Be a Red Flag: A noticeable difference in pupil size in children might be an indication of an underlying condition like Horner's syndrome or other neurological issues, and should be checked by a specialist. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

In this episode of Knock Knock Eye, I focus on one of the scariest eye conditions for your cornea: Acanthamoeba keratitis. This rare but serious infection is particularly frightening for contact lens wearers, as it can lead to severe pain, long-term vision problems, and a difficult treatment process. I break down why this infection is so dangerous, how it impacts the cornea, and offers important advice on how to prevent it. Learn why Acanthamoeba keratitis is a nightmare for your cornea and how to protect your vision. Takeaways: Acanthamoeba Keratitis Is Rare but Serious: This infection occurs when a protozoa, commonly found in water, invades the cornea, causing severe pain and long-term damage. Contacts and Water Don't Mix: Wearing contact lenses in water, whether in pools, hot tubs, or even showers, significantly increases the risk of developing Acanthamoeba keratitis. Pain Out of Proportion to Symptoms: A common sign of Acanthamoeba keratitis is severe eye pain, often much worse than what doctors can see in a standard eye exam. Long, Complex Treatment: Treating Acanthamoeba keratitis can take months, sometimes requiring multiple medications and even corneal transplants in severe cases. Prevention Is Key: The best way to avoid Acanthamoeba keratitis is to keep your contact lenses away from any water source, and always use proper contact lens solution for cleaning and storage. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Omega and I go way, way back, co-hosting a college radio show in the late 90s, talking shit about wack emcees and going on wild digging missions in the 2000s when these tracks were recorded. He remains one of my best friends and partner in crime today. He also happens to be an incredible emcee, with a style that certain emcee(s) making a name for themselves in 2024 took a big bite from (including one who literally was in rooms in 1999 where Omega spitting...go figure). So here's some tracks - some previously released, several unreleased - that we did in the 2000s, starting with "Eye Problems" which we recorded in Philadelphia back in 2001. These are "basement classics" since most were recorded in my Brooklyn basement apartment on Cool Edit. Everything except for one produced by me. Make sure to check out Omega's amazing and prolific output as a producer and emcee at https://omegajackson.bandcamp.com/ and https://soundcloud.com/omegajackson and cop all his projects! Not to mention our recent Neosapien EP available here: https://everydaybeats.bandcamp.com/album/all-we-need-is-a-title

In this episode of *It's Good to See You: Eye Health, Vision Care & More*, Dr. Rupa Wong, board certified pediatric ophthalmologist, discusses how parents and teachers can spot early signs of vision problems in children. As kids head back to school, their vision plays a critical role in academic performance and overall well-being. Dr. Rupa breaks down common vision issues, the key warning signs to look for, and the importance of early detection in ensuring your child's success both in and out of the classroom.   **Key Takeaways**: - **Why Vision Matters for Learning**: Vision is critical to classroom success—around 80% of learning is visual, making healthy eyes essential for academic achievement. - **Common Vision Problems in Children**: Myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness), astigmatism, amblyopia (lazy eye), and strabismus (crossed eyes) are the most common issues that can impact a child's ability to learn. - **Signs to Watch For**: Parents and teachers should look out for children squinting, sitting too close to the board, excessive blinking, frequent headaches, and avoiding reading or close-up work. - **The Importance of Early Detection**: Catching and treating vision issues early can prevent long-term problems, improve academic performance, and even enhance a child's confidence in school.   **Statistics Mentioned**: - 1 in 4 children has an undiagnosed vision problem that may impact their learning. - Myopia affects about 42% of children aged 5-17, and its prevalence is increasing due to factors like increased screen time and reduced outdoor activity.   **Tips for Parents**: - Schedule regular comprehensive eye exams for your child, especially before the school year starts. - Follow the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, take a 20-second break to look at something 20 feet away to reduce eye strain. - Pay attention to any changes in your child's behavior or academic performance that could signal a vision issue.   **Resources Mentioned**: - American Academy of Ophthalmology recommendations for children's eye exams. - Study from *Ophthalmology* on the rising prevalence of myopia in children.   **Connect with Me**: - Follow me on Instagram www.instagram.com/drrupawong - Have a question about this episode or a future topic?

Lazy eye, also known as amblyopia, is a condition in which the brain disregards input from one eye, leading to vision loss or reduced visual acuity in that eye. While the exact cause of lazy eye is not known, some experts believe that stress and other psychological factors can play a role in its development and worsening.Studies have shown that stress can impact eye health in a variety of ways, including causing eye strain, dry eyes, and changes in the shape of the eye. In addition, stress can also lead to the release of hormones that can affect the clarity of vision, potentially leading to lazy eye.Furthermore, some experts believe that psychological stress can contribute to the development of other vision problems, like strabismus, which is a misalignment of the eyes that can lead to lazy eye. In these cases, the brain may begin to ignore input from one eye to avoid double vision or other visual distortions.To address the psychosomatic aspect of lazy eye, it is important to focus on managing stress and promoting emotional well-being. This can involve practicing stress management techniques, such as 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, eating a healthy diet, and avoiding activities that can cause eye strain, like prolonged computer use. Early detection and treatment of lazy eye is crucial to prevent vision loss and maintain good eye health.

Dry eye syndrome is a common condition that occurs when the eyes do not produce enough tears to keep the surface of the eye lubricated. This can result in discomfort, itching, and blurred vision. While the exact cause of dry eye is not known, it is believed that stress and other psychological factors can play a role in its development and worsening.Stress has been shown to impact the tear glands, causing them to produce fewer tears and leading to dry eye. In addition, some research suggests that psychological stress can lead to changes in the composition of tears, making them less effective at lubricating the eye.To address the psychosomatic aspect of dry eye, it is important to focus on managing stress and promoting emotional well-being. This can involve practicing stress management techniques, such as meditation, deep breathing, and exercise, as well as seeking treatment for any underlying psychological conditions like anxiety or depression.It's also important to practice good eye health habits, like using artificial tears, avoiding activities that can cause eye strain, like prolonged computer use, and avoiding environmental factors that can contribute to dry eye, like air conditioning or low humidity.

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.

Eye problems, such as dry eyes, blurred vision, and eye strain, can be caused by a variety of factors, including psychosomatic factors.The following are some ways that psychosomatic factors may contribute to eye problems:

The aging eye sees colors differently as we age. The natural yellowing of the lens has a lot to do with this. It is thought that older people see the world through a color similar to ginger ale. This could influence our risk for falls. However, we can adjust for these physical changes by creating color contrast in our homes. Wall color, furniture, rugs are all features we can use to achieve color contrast. Sheen level on furniture, paint, texture, and natural and artificial lighting also play a big role in achieving this goal. Please listen to part 3 of this episode series to learn more about how you can create a safer and more functional home environment.

Neurological problems? Heart and Organ? Eye Problems? It sounds like larger breeds are prone to more health issues that medium and smaller dogs, is that true? Why do you think that is? Let's say someone is interested in getting a larger breed what kind of general caveats would you give them to help them make sure their dog lives a long and happy life? Would you recommend they get pet insurance? What kind of recommendations would you give for large dog breed owners to proof their house in a way that helps the large dog lives a long life? Would you say less jumping off of things Build/buy ramps instead of stairs where possible for home and car? What is the most common cause of hip dysplasia from a vet's perspective? How much of nutrition and genetics play into it? What is the cause of wobbler's syndrome? Why are bigger breeds more prone to GDV or bloat? Is it bc of the level of their water bowls? Eating food too fast? Some of these sound super preventable and some of these just sound like the roll of the dice. What breeds are more prone to the roll of the dice health problems? What is your recommendation for preventing the joint issues or I guess slowing it down?

Vision changes is one of the first declines we experience with the onset of aging. Visual impairment can occur as early as 35-40 years of age.The best way to ward off more serious eye problems is through early detection by a doctor. Visual impairment accounts for one out of the four leading causes for falls in older adults.The other 3 causes are taking medications incorrectly, hazards in your home, and decreased strength/muscle weakness.Falls are the leading cause for hospitalizations and death in people 65 and older.

Relaxed summertime schedules may mean that kids have more screen time than they do during the school year. But only half of all parents recognize that excessive time spent staring at digital devices may be hurting their kids' eyes. In this episode of NewsMD's "Health Fusion," Viv Williams shares details from a recent poll, plus what the eye issues are and what parents can do to avoid them.

In this week's episode, Dr. Kerry Gelb shares his journey of working on his documentary, Open Your Eyes, which shines a spotlight on the relationship between diabetes and eyesight. After conducting pilot studies, he discovered there was a link between and insulin resistance. Unfortunately, there are many eye problems with diabetes. Vascular as well as other diseases could be diagnosed sooner using the eye as a source of information. The eye can now be seen as the window to your health.  As Dr. Gelb traveled to film his documentary, he was able to learn more about the relationship between diet and eye diseases. Those who ate more unprocessed food and spent more time in the sun were seen to develop macular diseases of the eye at a lower rate. He spoke with experts regarding different relationships between insulin resistance and eye health.  After diving deeper into learning about the eyes from a different perspective, Dr. Gelb filmed this documentary to share his insights and knowledge with the general public as well as shine a spotlight on the importance of eye health. He also shared the 20-20-20 rule for eye health, use of blue-light filtering glasses, importance of sun exposure and much more.

I am really excited to share my guess I say that every time, but I am always really tied to share my guest with you because I think we're gonna have a really awesome conversation today with Dr. Bell about eye health. And he has been working for the last several years on the documentary that we're going to discuss in detail, and then also of special interest to my audience specifically, is he does some work with eye health and diabetes, and so… You know, I don't like to get too doom and gloom with these things, but my gosh, if saving your site isn't a good enough reason to work on your metabolic health, I don't know what is… So anyway, all that said, Welcome, you can share a little bit about yourself beyond what I just said Beyond with in your bio, how you got into being passionate about eye health and what led you to spend two years of your life traveling around the world to make this documentary. Open Your Eyes Documentary Dr. Kerry Gelb: We thank you for having me. I'm so excited that our documentary is called Open your eyes is now on Amazon Prime, Apple TV, iTunes, Google Play YouTube, movies and documentaries. And I think people realize that the eyes are important, but they don't realize the connection between the I and systemic disease. So the purpose of making the movie is to have the population, the public at large, realized that through the eye, we could diagnose disease much sooner than a lot of times they could be diagnosed from going to internists, all your family practice, especially when we're dealing with vascular disease, because when we look into the eye, we could see 10 Mike grounds or less, so we can see the capillaries, the really small capillaries, so as you know, capillaries go from your toe up into your brain, and we could tell a lot by looking at the capillaries in the eye, in fact, you mentioned diabetes a number of years ago, when I got this special camera to image the blood muscles in the back of the Ithaca Aries, I would see these little power chains. And at the beginning, we didn't know what it was. Eye Problems with Diabetes Dr. Kerry Gelb: And then, but because I'm very interested in functional medicine, and I've been until a lot of the FM conferences and I spent a lot of time taking lectures from Mark Houston, who you might have heard of, was an integrative cardiologist and vascular disease, I put two into it together, and I realized it was probably those were micro aneurysms and they were cared for insulin resistance, so we did a pilot study to see of these micro-aneurysms were related t...

I'm Tim Edwards with the Inbound Podcasting Network and a client of Dr. Stephey's over the past couple of years. In our last episode, we got a chance to meet Dr. Stephey and get to know him personally and professionally and to learn a little bit more about some of Dr. Stephey's unconventional methods that he practices at his optometry practice. And when we say unconventional methods, we mean when you visit Dr. Stephey, you're going to experience a session unlike you've had with any other optometrists. I can almost guarantee that. Can you back that guarantee up with me Dr. Stephey? I think that's pretty true.  Dr. Stephey: Tim, I think that is true. I do practice all the kinds of regular optometry that most people can eventually know. But I do things that go back in optometry to the 1930s and 1940s. So what's interesting about a lot of this stuff is it's not really new. It's just that the profession in expanding its scope has moved away from some of the tenants that has made this kind of optometry so unique and yet at times in the field of neuro rehabilitation, especially with traumatic brain injury and concussions, the rehab community understands the value of this kind of optometry better than regular optometry itself in some cases, and certainly that's true that the neuro rehab community understands this better than the educational community or the medical community as it relates to how this kind of optometry practice can affect the quality of somebody's life. Whether they get migraines or motion sickness or headaches or have a history of dyslexia or a learning disability or ADHD or autism. This kind of optometry cuts across a lot of different disciplines and a lot of different diagnoses.  Tim Edwards: And as you mentioned in our last episode, we are going to dive deep into each of those elements that you just described and how through vision therapy and through some of the modalities that you use at your practice can be relieved, hopefully, maybe and sometimes eliminated.  Dr. Stephey: I think that's true.  Tim Edwards: And today what we're going to do, we're going to bring it down to the elementary school level. For people like me, if you don't mind Dr. Stephey, and we're going to talk about common eye problems. So I think it would be important for those that are binge listening to this podcast, much like people do on Netflix, right? You find a show you like and you'll watch every episode, the same type of consumer habits occur with podcast listening, so let's give some basic common eye issues that you would deal with that we are all dealing with.  Dr. Stephey: So the most common things that people know are nearsightedness, farsightedness, astigmatism and reading glasses.  Tim Edwards: That's pretty much the scope, no pun intended, of my knowledge or something like this.  Dr. Stephey: And the idea that seeing 20/20 is the holy grail of going to the eye doctor. I'm here to suggest that seeing 20/20 is a small, albeit an important piece of the puzzle, but it's just a tiny piece of the puzzle. So for example, the expression 20/20 conventionally means that you can read a letter just slightly smaller than nine millimeters at 20 feet. That's it.  Tim Edwards: That's where the 20 comes in.  Dr. Stephey: That's where 20/20 comes in. That's all it means. It doesn't say anything about the way you use your two eyes together, whether you see fast, how you integrate vision and auditory or vision and motor or visual and processing speed or vision and attention or vision and movement skills. It just means you can read a tiny letter at 20 feet.  Tim Edwards: And why did they choose that? Whomever created this chart, right? And the distance. Why at 20 feet.  Dr. Stephey: Honestly I have no idea.  Tim Edwards: Because that's the size of the room when they put this whole thing together and they say well..  Dr. Stephey: There's probably some logic behind why they chose the 20 feet, but I honestly do..If I ever learned that in the past, I don't remember it.  Tim Edwards: So that it's not that relevant anyway. It's just a, a baseline form of measurement.  Dr. Stephey: So and as an extension of that thinking, people are nearsighted. Maybe they read the big E on the eye chart and that big E is referred to as a 2,400 letter. And what that means is that the "normally sighted person who could read that size letter at 400 feet, a nearsighted, a person has to walk up closer and closer and closer until they're 20 feet away from the letter. And then they can finally read the big E."  Tim Edwards: I got it.  Dr. Stephey: That's where that fraction comes from. Common misunderstanding is when people refer to themselves as being legally blind. Well the definition of legal blindness has to do with the best corrected vision in your better seeing eye.  Dr. Stephey: So when we go back to that standard eye chart, it's called a Snellen chart. And if somebody has best corrected vision in their better seeing eye,no better than 20/80, that would meet one of the standards of, of truly meeting the definition of being legally blind. Because your best corrected vision is worse than 20/70 in your better seeing eye. Well if you don't have glasses on and you can't see the 2400 letter, that is not the standard of being legally blind. You could, you couldn't see two inches in front of your face without glasses on. But if you put glasses on and you can see 20/20, you're not legally blind. So that's a really common misunderstanding that patients have about their uncorrected vision versus their best corrected vision. And just for completeness sake, someone who's nearsighted, you think about what that word is saying, you have sight at near.  Dr. Stephey: So the implication is that you're blurry far away. And so that is true. If you're nearsighted and you don't have correction on you have distance blur. And the more nearsighted, the more blur you have at distance. Interestingly enough though, you can continue to see well up close if you're nearsighted and don't have glasses on. And that particularly is advantageous when you get to be 40 to 45, that's the most common window when you develop a condition called Presbyopia, which I looked up a few months ago and essentially it means old man eyes.  Tim Edwards: And I had been suffering from that for quite some time.  Dr. Stephey: But presbyopia is a gentler way of saying the same thing or at least it's a more confounding way. And patients don't really know that. I'm telling them that they're getting old, they just think that they're getting presbyopic.  Tim Edwards: Sounds a little nicer. a little bit, but if you.  Dr. Stephey: But if you're near sighted and presbyopic, you might be able to avoid reading glasses or a bifocal. You just take your glasses off and then you can see for for quite a long time, depending on the level of your nearsightedness. Farsightedness or hyperopia. That's more confounding because again, farsightedness means you have site at far, so there are limits though about what we can tolerate with faraway vision when we're farsighted and not wearing the glasses correction. So many people that are farsighted, their primary complaint is they have trouble seeing up close. That's not age related and so we might prescribe farsighted glasses that are primarily used for near vision or we might give you farsighted glasses that you wear full time. There is a term called accommodative esotropia. Accommodation, meaning eye focusing and esotropia meaning your one or both eyes turns in towards your nose.  Dr. Stephey: So the term accommodative esotropia means that without glasses on, you have one or both eyes. That turned way inward whether you're looking at far away objects or even up close objects.  Tim Edwards: Is that just a muscle issue in the eye?  Dr. Stephey: Well, it's a muscle issue in the sense that it's related to, and I'm having a lot of farsightedness, but nobody's figured that out yet. So someone who's an accommodative esotrope, you see that they have crossed eyes. What you don't know is that without crossing their eyes, the retina registers a fair amount of blur and the brain is experiencing that blur and his thinking to itself, this is not good. I don't want to see blurry. And the only way to make it clearer is that the brain has got to make the eye focusing inside. The brain has got to make the eye focusing system in the eye work harder and the eye focusing and the eye taming systems are neurologically tied to each other.  Dr. Stephey: So if you focus harder, your eye's going to turn in. So somebody who's an accommodative esotrope, they're really farsighted but nobody's figured that out. And when you finally do figure it out and you put glasses on them and the brain says, oh, I got the glasses to do all this extra work for me and I don't have to do that. Great. I'll turn the eyes back out to a straight ahead posture and get them to work together as a team. So that's what it means to be an accommodative esotrope.  Tim Edwards: So is that different than a lazy eye?  Dr. Stephey: Yes, yes. The simple answer to that is yes. So Lazy. I the common term that people know. Amblyopia is the fancier term. And most of the things that we talk about, there's always exceptions to the rule. So typically somebody who has a lazy eye, "can see 20/20 in one eye and less than 20/20 in the other eye." Dr. Stephey: Maybe it's 20/25, maybe it's 20/30, maybe it's 2100, maybe it's 2,400. But you don't really know why they have that poor vision until you do a comprehensive exam and begin to figure out why these things are true. So in an accommodative esotrope, if there's an asymmetry in prescription between the two eyes, one eye has got little to no prescription and the other one's got quite a bit of farsightedness. The far sighted eye that has not been wearing a correction is going to see blurry because the brain will take the path of least resistance. It will do whatever work it has to, but not anymore than it has to. So if you can see 20/20 with one eye and it takes very little effort, the brain says, well I'm not going to work that other eye because I'm seeing 20/20. That was my ultimate goal.  Dr. Stephey: I don't have to work the other eye harder so I'm just going to let it be blurry. Well, the longer that other eye stays blurry, the cells in the visual cortex or the occipital lobe or the back of the brain where visual input is sent to, those cells never get stimulated with clear vision. They constantly see blurry. So those brain cells that receive visual input don't know how to see clear. And so when you go to measure clarity of vision, like on the standard eye chart, they can't get to 20/20 because they've never seen 20/20. So in that context, oftentimes in every case is different. But oftentimes when you put glasses on, someone who's like that, and maybe give them four or five or six weeks just to put glasses on, wear them full time. Let clear images be on both retinas. Let both retinas send that information back to the brain to be stimulated.  Dr. Stephey: And perhaps we do a follow up exam in four to six or seven weeks and recheck the snellen chart again in the lazier eye and see how much better it's getting. If it's getting better on its own, maybe just more time is all that's necessary to get the eye back to 20/20 or close to it. And facilitate the brain's ability to begin to learn how to use the two eyes together. And if time alone and the prescription alone is not sufficient, then we come up with a vision therapy plan about how are we going to intervene to teach the brain how to keep both eyes on and see clearly at the same time. Because and historically, if you get diagnosed with a lazy eye, and this is still true to some degree in some circles, the classic example is that you patch the good eye, right?  Dr. Stephey: You cover up the good idea, have forced the brain to see through the blurry eye and sometimes even in 2018, that is still the conventional approach with a lot of eye doctors. And I'm going to tell you that is woefully inadequate because it is true that when you patch the good eye, the brain will look through the other eye because it has no choice. Once you take the patch back off, the brain goes back to look through the "good eye" and turns the lazy eye back off.  Tim Edwards: So this has never worked then.  Dr. Stephey: I wouldn't say it's never worked, but it has limited value because the ultimate goal and what's really necessary is the brain has to learn how to use the two eyes together as a team and you can't do that if you patch one of them. So the extension beyond patching, if patching is even necessary at all, is that you have to develop a vision therapy program where the brain is aware of what both eyes are doing, but that the brain is also aware that the two eyes are seeing different colors or different colored objects or that the objects at the right eye and the left are seeing are polarized.  Dr. Stephey: So the right eye sees one polarized target. The left eye sees a different polarized target so that if the brain doesn't keep both eyes on, one of the one of the targets is going to disappear. Well, when you can see that happen and your brain says, Hey, what the heck happened to that other object? Well, the brain's now got immediate real time feedback to turn that eye back on, and that's the coup de gras in this whole thing. The brain's got to be aware that it has two channels and that it is supposed to learn how to use the two eyes together as an integrated team. That's why patching has limited value. And I got an email several days ago from a colleague of mine that this is crazy when I tell you this. It is a practice that has been done within the discipline of ophthalmology who's big on patching.. Dr. Stephey: Not so much the binocular vision piece, but big on patching. And if you're a kid who sees good in one eye and really poorly out of the other and someone puts a patch on your good seeing eye, are you going to want to wear that patch? No. The answer is no. So you're going to take it off. Well, believe it or not, I've seen cases where an eye surgeon has actually sutured a patch onto somebody's face.  Tim Edwards: Sutured? Sutured, so they cannot take it off no matter what.  Dr. Stephey: They have stitched it into their skin. That seems really egregious. And the second one that's close to that is that they put elbows splints on the kids so they can't bend their arms.  Tim Edwards: Oh my goodness. Wow. That's like the cone that you put over a dog's head so it doesn't lick its wounds. Right.  Dr. Stephey: When when I read that email, I thought the exact same thing.  Tim Edwards: That's terrible. That's archaic.  Dr. Stephey: Yeah, well it seems pretty extreme. I don't know. I'd have to go back and read more about it and make my peace with whether or not it's ever necessary and maybe it is. But those are two pretty extreme examples of what it means to patch.  Tim Edwards: So we're going to take a short break Dr. Stephey and when we come back on the other side, give us a little insight as to what we can expect.  Dr. Stephey: When we come back on the other side of this, I'm going to talk a little bit about astigmatism. I'll talk a little bit more about presbyopia and I'll talk a little bit about myopia control. Because myopia is an out of control epidemic worldwide and there's lots of research and lots of discussion being done about how do we control this.  Tim Edwards: And why don't we also give some solutions as well too, that they can find at your optometry practice.  Dr. Stephey: Sounds great.  Tim Edwards: Welcome back to the Move Look & Listen podcast with Dr. Stephey. I'm Tim Edwards with the Inbound Podcasting Network. And today we're talking about common eye problems. Getting a nice education on when you hear that somebody has astigmatism, which we're about to talk about. Or presbyopia. Did I say it right?  Dr. Stephey: Presbyopia. Yeah.  Tim Edwards: And what's the other one?  Dr. Stephey: There's hyperopia, myopia, astigmatism and presbyopia.  Tim Edwards: I'll never be able to do that without it written down in front of me, unfortunately. After I listen to this number two, I will. So why don't we pick up where we left off?  Dr. Stephey: Well, let's talk about astigmatism because that's a common component of a lot of people's prescriptions. And I think there's some confusion about what it really means. So if you think about the shape of the basketball, it's got one radius of curvature and that's typical of whether you're nearsighted or farsighted. Meaning that when light focuses in front of or behind your retina to induce that blur, it's only got one focal point of blur, and that's to be implied by the shape of the basketball, only having one curve. In contrast, to a football which has one radius of curvature from the long end to the other long end, and it's got a steeper radius of curvature around the center.  Dr. Stephey: Those two major curvatures are 90 degrees apart from each other and each one has a different focal point. So with astigmatism, you've got two different blur points around your retina instead of the single blur point. So with myopia, you're primarily blurry at distance and have sight up close. With hyperopia, you're primarily blurry at close and have good vision far away unless you're really farsighted then you have blur everywhere. And astigmatism because you've got to blur points. You're blurry everywhere as well. So that's what astigmatism is. There's two different blur points and we have to correct both of those blur points to give you clear vision.  Tim Edwards: I've heard astigmatism my entire life. Never knew that. You're talking about different blur points within each eyeball.  Dr. Stephey: Yes, that's right. And furthermore there is something called the astigmatism axis. So if you think back to high school math class and you ever had to pull out a protractor, it's got degrees on it, right from zero to 180 degrees. And those degrees on that protractor make up part of your astigmatism prescription.  Dr. Stephey: And it's interesting to look at symmetry in the human body because most prescriptions that contain astigmatism are along the 180 degree line plus or minus 10 degrees. So like 170 to maybe 10 degrees somewhere in that range or they're 90 degrees away from that. So now you're at an axis 90 and maybe a common range from 80 to 100. That's pretty common with astigmatism prescriptions. And every once in a while you get an oddball prescription where it's at an oblique axis like 45 degrees or 135 degrees. Not along the 180 or the 90 degree line. And what's also interesting is how sensitive somebody can be to changes in that cylinder axis. So degrees on a protractor change in one degree increments. And if you don't have a lot of astigmatism, maybe you have a tiny amount of astigmatism prescription and your axis could change five to seven degrees and it wouldn't bother you very much.  Dr. Stephey: But if you have a lot of astigmatism, sometimes you can't even tolerate a one degree change in the axis in your prescription because if you're that sensitive or you have that high of astigmatism power, that one degree change, it doesn't feel right. Like it almost gives you eyestrain or a headache or blur or it throws off your visual perception or it's just not tolerable. I used to have about $4.50 worth of astigmatism. And if you think about prescription changes, we do it in quarter diopter units. Well $4.50 is 18 quarters worth of astigmatism. That's a lot. Before I had Lasik, I couldn't tolerate a one degree change in my astigmatism axis. If I got a pair of glasses made and literally they were one degree off, I have to send them back, I couldn't wear. And some people are really, really sensitive to that.  Dr. Stephey: If there's one thing I've learned over the years is that every single patient that comes into my practice is unique unto themselves and it doesn't make a difference. Yes, we have had a lot of training. Yes, I've had a lot of experience and yes, most people kind of fall in the bell curve of statistical population outcomes, but that's not you. Everybody's different. And I wouldn't have been sensitive to this probably the first 10 or 12 years that I was in practice. But now I really listened to every single patient that comes to me and what their complaints are and what I think their complaints could be. And nobody's maybe even asking those questions to find out if they have any of the symptoms that I might think you have. For example, there was a gal came into my office recently. She's 48 years old.  Dr. Stephey: Her two eyes don't work together very well and that's caused her a host of problems. Motion sickness, being clumsy, being ridiculously anxious, and really most of her life feeling like she's got two left feet. And when I started to ask her some of the questions that we're going to talk about in later episodes, she broke down in tears in my exam chair because she said, I've been trying to tell other doctors this most of my adult life. And no one has ever understood what I've been trying to tell them. Well, and they all just think I'm crazy.  Tim Edwards: Which type of doctors has, she asked?  Dr. Stephey: She's asked her family doctors this. She's asked neurologist this. She's ultimately been referred to psychology and psychiatry because no one has understood what she's trying to convey.  Tim Edwards: And you're the first optometrist she's asked?  Dr. Stephey: No, no, she's 40-years-old. She's been going to see eye doctors since she was a kid. So it's that no one took the time to listen to her and no one took the time to do the kind of testing that would reveal this to know what questions to ask, and so she broke down in tears because she finally felt like she had somebody who understood what she was trying to convey. All this time. It was unbelievable.  Tim Edwards: That must have been just one of those days like you talked about in the last episode where you just go home smiling because you just found a way to not only listen to this patient of yours, but to fix this patient of yours.  Dr. Stephey: Well, it's true. Most people probably have heard of the movie, the Matrix with Keanu Reeves. And there's a scene in there that's a red pill, blue pill moment. I love that scene and it's perfect for this kind of optometry because my contention is that when you learn this information, I dare you to go back and not practice this way. I can't do it. I can't unlearn what I know and when I have a chance to talk to parent groups or occupational or physical therapist or I go to maybe a special education conference. I'm going to a conference tomorrow. I'm one of the speakers on the visual aspects of dyslexia. I'm going to talk about that red pill, blue pill moment because once you learn this, you can't go back.  Tim Edwards: So you're offering them a red pill, blue pill moment as well.  Dr. Stephey: Yes, that's exactly what I'm going to do tomorrow.  Tim Edwards: And that is our intent on the Move Look & Listen podcast as well. Dr. Stephey we come to the close of this episode. Can we go over some of the solutions to these ailments that we've talked about for the last 25 minutes or so?  Dr. Stephey: I would love to do that. The one thing I'm really going to focus on right now is myopia or nearsightedness because it is a worldwide epidemic that is being studied in many countries and people throw in lots and lots of money research wise at myopia control and in part why that's a big deal is that myopia compared to the other kinds of prescription changes that you might need, myopia is associated with higher incidence of glaucoma and higher incidences of retinal tears and retinal detachments. So it's not just that, oh, I need a thicker and thicker pair of glasses to see better. It's that there really are some longterm consequences healthwise and vision wise and blindness wise. So trying to get this figured out is a big deal. Conventionally, the most common way that we handle blur is by prescribing glasses. While prescribing glasses this isn't solving your problem, it's compensating for your problem. And allowing you to see clearly. So what we want to do in myopia control is to see if there's other alternatives that might be better choices for you. And some of the common choices that have been tried and have some modest success and some that have really pretty significant success. A really simple fix would be put somebody in a bifocal, even if you're eight years old, you may benefit from being in a bifocal pair of glasses to slow down your runaway myopia.  Dr. Stephey: Or alternatively we might put you in a standard hard or gas permeable contact lens to slow down that progression. Or we might put you in a hard contact lens that you wear overnight. Much like you wear a retainer after you've had braces and the hard lens w overnight attempts to flatten your cornea overnight. So it does two things during the daytime. One, the ideal goal is that you don't need glasses or contacts then to see all day and that it's also designed to slow down the progression of the myopia so that over some period of time, even if you stop wearing the overnight lens at night, you will not progress to the same level of myopia you would have, had you never worn that lens to start with.  Tim Edwards: So it just reshaping the eye a little bit?  Dr. Stephey: It's reshaping the eye little bit. That's exactly what it's doing. And then there's atropine eyedrops and standard atropine eyedrops dilate the pupil really big and they pharmacologically knock out your eye focusing system so you can't see up close because your eye focusing system doesn't work because it's been pharmacologically paralyzed. Well, I'm here to tell you that in the US there is no one that's going to tolerate full strength atropine eyedrops for those two reasons. They may get by with that in some other countries, but people in the US just aren't going to tolerate that. And they don't really have to because there are diluted atropine eyedrops where they're diluted to a 0.01 percent. So you don't get the pupil dilation, you don't get the eye focusing problems, but you do get a significant myopia reduction control over time. So that's pretty cool.  Tim Edwards: And this is just drops that you put in your eye?  Dr. Stephey: Yup. Maybe once a day and off you go.  Tim Edwards: So it's like a pill. Except a drop for your eye.  Dr. Stephey: It's sorta like a pill but in drop form.  Tim Edwards: That's amazing. I've never heard of that before. It's great.  Dr. Stephey: Yup. And I would say that the diluted atropine drops are relatively new. I don't think they're particularly well known even in the eye care community and that has not been particularly well conveyed into the patient population at large. So I have a handful of patients who are doing the myopia control with the atropine eye drops, but it's not a huge part of our practice at this juncture. But it's an option that's available and you should know about it. Here's a final thought about presbyopia or old man eyes. Rememberit happens between 40 and 45.  Tim Edwards: Middle-aged man eyes.  Dr. Stephey: Yes. Yes, that's right. If you've been fortunate enough to have 20/20 vision at distance your whole life, I'm here to tell you, you feel cheated when you turn presbyopic.  Tim Edwards: Absolutely.  Dr. Stephey: And it's like, what do you mean I need reading glasses? I've never needed glasses my whole life.  Tim Edwards: And it grows subtle. I mean, it's not like overnight. You can't see. It just seems to happen over some time and you realize I am not functioning like I used to. It's, it's terrible. It's exhausting, actually.  Dr. Stephey: It, you know, that's a good point. It is exhausting. Even when you can see some degree of clarity, your brain has to work so hard to achieve that, that oftentimes those people can read without reading glasses initially, but they have trouble remembering what they're reading because their brain's working so hard to see. And that group is challenging because they typically don't want to wear glasses full time and I certainly understand that. But then they're confronted with these choices. It's like, well doc, how am I going to fix this? Well I can give you a reading glasses? Sounds great, but you're not going to be able to walk around in them. What do you mean? Well they're just for reading, if you try to walk around, you're going to get dizzy and fall over.  Dr. Stephey: Well yeah, but so what? Wait a minute. What are you, what are you telling me? Are you telling me you're going to use the B word? Yeah, that's the other choice.  Tim Edwards: That no young man wants to hear. No 45-year-old man wants to hear that.  Dr. Stephey: Like you're saying, I need a bifocal? And I'm like, well I didn't say that exactly. I implied it but I didn't say it.  Tim Edwards: Right, but then you know, a lot of men or a lot of people basically they don't want to see that line, you know, but there's a solution to that. That line in their glasses that tells the world I can't see up close without the aid. And so it looks like, I'm guessing there's a stigma attached to that. Sorry.  Dr. Stephey: And I think that it's, it is an acknowledgement that in fact you are getting older.  Tim Edwards: It is indeed. Yeah.  Dr. Stephey: And it's nothing to do with really the wearing of it. It's that it's acknowledgement of your aging. And people are really resistant to that.  Tim Edwards: Listen, I get it. I was that guy. I was like, I'm 51 now and I just gave up. I just gave up, you know, I need to be able to see and if you don't like the line on my glasses and think I'm an old man then too bad. I have to function. But then again, there are some solutions to that you don't have to have that definitive line.  Dr. Stephey: That's right. There are bifocals with lines that are obvious. There's bifocals with lines that aren't as obvious. There are round bifocals that technically have a line that are almost invisible and then there's progressive lenses that don't have any lines.  Dr. Stephey: And of course that has great appeal if you're bothered by the idea of a line and announcing to the world that yes, I'm wearing a bifocal. And I've been wearing a progressive lens for almost 16 years now. I don't think I would go back to wearing a bifocal with a line. But they do have some limits.  Tim Edwards: Some of the limits I learned this. First of all, it takes some getting used to. It does. There's some, there's some adjustment to that transition.  Dr. Stephey: Well, there's an adjustment of getting used to anybody bifocal.  Tim Edwards: Oh that is true. That is true.  Dr. Stephey: But it is also interesting because when I see patients that have trouble with the way their two eyes work together, if they have tried progressive lenses in the past and failed, it's usually not because they can't wear a progressive lens.  Dr. Stephey: It's because they can't adapt to the progressive lens because of the binocular vision problem that no one has told them about. So when you get a lot of motion and swim through the no line portion of a progressive, you can't tolerate that. Well then nobody told you why you're getting so much swim because your two eyes aren't working together in a coordinated manner. You just think that progressives aren't for you and you don't know that they're really a viable option. If we address this binocular vision piece.  Tim Edwards: So there are options. There are options there. And you know what, the only way to know is to get in there and try. And that's what exactly what I did and of course I settled for a great mix of contacts so I could see far away really well and reading glasses. And reading glasses that work while I'm wearing my contacts that you did for me.  Tim Edwards: It is a perfect combination. Now they're not bifocal glasses. I just put them on when I need to see up close. But this combination works for me.  Dr. Stephey: Well, Tim, and you make a good point, which is listen to your patients, come up with viable solutions, talk about the viable solutions and put them on the table so that you and the patient then can have a good discussion about their quality of life, what they do vocationally and avocationally and how these lenses are gonna work and how they're not going to work. Because it reminds me that there's also bifocal contact lenses that many people don't know even exist. And there's also instances where we'll fit one eye with the distance contact lens and the other eye with a reading contact lens. And roughly 85 percent of people that try that do really well with it. But again, you have to know it's an option and you have to know it doesn't work for everybody. But that's the point of listening to your patients and working with them and that you really are a collaborative team, which is exactly the kind of practice that I want to have.

If you're up for a bit of practical experimentation, give this a go. Hold your finger out in front of your face, fix your gaze on the tip and then shake your head from side to side, or nodding up and down. Without you having to think about it, your eyes stay locked on their target by precisely matching the movements of your head. But for some people, maintaining a steady gaze like that is impossible because their eyes rhythmically drift off. Luckily a British team of doctors and eye surgeons have come up with a solution based on an implantable pair of magnets. Chris Smith spoke to Parashkev... Like this podcast?
