Send us a textOn this episode, we review glaucoma, one of the most common causes of visual acuity loss in older adults and gradually affects visual field of pilots if not detected early. That early detection is a key factor in preventing its effects. What about aeromedical certification implications? Is there CACI criteria available for glaucoma? Is a pilot able to hold a medical certificate with this condition?
Episode 25:46 A Healing Protocol For Glaucoma, Gout, Edema, Excessive Sweating, and Nightmares Glaucoma, gout, edema (swelling), excessive sweating, and nightmares. What if each of these conditions had something in common? Something that contributed to their CAUSE. Wouldn't you want to know? And wouldn't you want your doctor to address THAT… the cause… instead of simply prescribing drugs that did nothing more than "silence your symptoms"? On this episode I address this common cause AND what you can do, naturally, to correct it. Give it a good listen and, as always, share it with a friend. Thanks! ———————- Want to learn more?

Ogul Uner, MD, invites Ta Chen Peter Chang, MD, a pediatric glaucoma specialist, to review a case of a 9-month-old boy who presented with significant photophobia in both eyes. Examination showed IOP of 32 mm Hg in the right eye and 29 mm Hg in the left eye with moderate optic nerve cupping in both eyes. Dr. Chang shares what additional information he would look for to make a diagnosis of pediatric glaucoma. He also shares insights from the Childhood Glaucoma Research Network, a consortium of glaucoma specialists that has developed a consensus of diagnostic criteria.

In this week's episode we discuss…Corticosteroids and DMARDs together were found to be superior to corticosteroids alone in treating non-anterior sarcoid uveitis. Thousands of Americans have come to the ED over the past few years for pickleball-related ocular traumas, suggesting eye protection could be beneficial in this sport. Glaucoma is associated with sleep-wake and Circadian rhythm disorders, likely secondary to damage to the RGCs and optic nerve causing irregular regulation of sleep-wake physiology.Novel statin nanoparticles injected intravenously can preserve and even double cone photoreceptors in retinitis pigmentosa mouse models by reducing inflammation.
Glaucoma is often called the “silent thief of sight,” but Heather McKean invites a deeper look. What if vision loss also reflects unprocessed grief, generational trauma, and emotional pressure?Through the Mind Change lens—and the moving story of “Marion”—Heather explores how releasing trapped emotion, softening rigid beliefs, and practicing forgiveness can expand both inner and outer vision. Gentle reflections help you begin reclaiming your way of seeing, inside and out.What We Covered

Glaucoma từ lâu đã được gán mệnh danh là 'kẻ cắp thị lực thầm lặng', là nguyên nhân hàng đầu gây mù lòa. Đặc biệt, người gốc Đông Nam Á, trong đó có người Việt, có nguy cơ cao mắc hai dạng glaucoma vừa khó phát hiện sớm, vừa khó điều trị.
Most people don't know that you can improve your eyesight naturally. In this fascinating video, I'll show you how to reverse poor eyesight and say goodbye to other eye problems like eye strain, glaucoma, and cataracts.0:00 Introduction: How to restore eyesight naturally 0:45 What causes poor eyesight? 5:29 Other eye problems 7:12 How to reverse vision problems naturally 11:38 Foods for better eyesight Poor eyesight starts with the cones in your eye. Cones are receptors in the eye primarily used for detecting color, daylight, and fine detail. Cones have the most mitochondria-packed cells in the entire retina. Mitochondrial loss related to aging can affect vision.As you age, you might notice the following stages of vision loss:1. Contrast sensitivity loss2. Need more light3. See more glare in the dark4. Age-related macular degeneration—can't see fine detailCataracts occur when the lens of the eye becomes cloudy. This is often related to diet. Glaucoma is characterized by pressure in the eyes. High doses of vitamin D3 have been found to help reverse glaucoma. Your eyes are very sensitive to blood sugar problems, which is why one of the leading causes of blindness is diabetes.

Dr Lange and Dr Summerton invite everyone to come out to their 20th annual Fall Festival at the Lange Eye Institute on October 4, 1--2. They start the show off discussing the powers of both Lumenis Opti Light and Opti Lift. This is the one two punch to fight against dry eye by addressing blocked meibomian glands and lower lid laxity. The Lange Eye Institute has been getting amazing results using both Opti Light and Opti Lift procedures on their patients with MGD and dry eyes. Dr Lange also mentions there is an added aesthetic benefit from the Opti light and Opti lift procedures. Dr Summerton goes over a recent study proving the positive benefits on lower lid laxity and dry eye utilizing Lumenis Opti Lift. Both doctors go over the different types of sunglasses available for protection while driving, playing sports or on the water. Glaucoma is the "sneak thief of sight" and must be treated medically however the doctors discussed some natural approaches to help slow down some of the field loss associated with glaucoma. They discussed some clinical studies on cardiovascular exercise lowering intraocular pressure and preserving visual field loss. Dr Lange promotes Fortifeye Eye Pressure and Neuro Cognitive Support supplement for glaucoma and glaucoma suspects. He states this does not replace glaucoma treatment and can be used in conjunction with current treatment. A large portion of today's show discussed the powers of the right form of protein. Dr Lange and Dr Summerton spoke about the Fortifeye Vegan Super Protein and how it is comparable to whey protein in amino acid content and protein power. Fortifeye Vegan Super Protein is a plant-based protein sourced from Canada and America not any from China. The doctors state that most Americans are not getting enough high-quality protein and we all need to eat more protein. Fortifeye Vegan Super Protein or Fortifeye Super Protein is a way to get more super clean protein. call 866 503-9746 for Fortifeye Vitamins and 352 753-4024 to the Lange Eye Institute. #veganprotein #veganproteinpowder #naturalglaucomatreatment #glaucomaawareness #veganlifestlye #veganlife #optilight #optilift #lumenis #lumenisoptilight #lumenisoptiliftSupport the show: https://www.drmichaellange.com/category/ask-the-doctor/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We live in a world dominated by screens. From smartphones and tablets to laptops and televisions, screen time has become inescapable. Americans now average 7 to 9 hours of screen exposure daily, and the consequences are taking a toll on our vision - no matter your age. Digital eye strain has reached epidemic proportions, with symptoms of blurred vision, dry eyes, and headaches. More alarmingly, excessive screen use may be fueling a sharp rise in myopia (nearsightedness), particularly in children. Based on these trends, half the world's population is expected to be nearsighted by 2050.Integrative nero-ophthalmologist Dr. Rudrani Banik (Dr. Rani), founder and medical director of EnVision Health NYC visits with Mark Alyn to discuss eye health and to invite listeners to the upcoming free The Eye Health Summit (May 1 - May 7th). The problem goes beyond discomfort. Increased screen exposure strains the eye's focusing system, leads to poor blinking habits, and exposes us to high-energy blue light, which interferes with sleep cycles and may contribute to retinal damage.Nearly 20 million Americans have age-related macular degeneration (AMD), with 1 in 10 adults over 50 showing early signs. Glaucoma, the second leading cause of blindness, affects 3 million Americans, often with no symptoms until severe damage occurs. With cataracts and other sight-threatening diseases on the rise, early detection and preventive care are more critical than ever.The Eye Health Summit, a free, global event taking place on May 1–7 coinciding with National Healthy Vision Month. This summit, hosted by Dr. Rani, will feature more than 35 expert-led discussions on topics from eye strain and ocular nutrition to cutting-edge advancements in eye health.
