Jesus teaches in Matthew 6:19-24 that having "healthy eyes" means cultivating both generosity and single-mindedness in our spiritual vision. Just as we can't physically focus on two things at once, we cannot serve both God and material possessions - we must choose whether our eyes will be full of light (focused on eternal things) or darkness (focused on earthly treasures). The sermon emphasizes that when we seek first God's Kingdom with healthy spiritual vision, maintaining a generous heart and undivided focus on heavenly things, God will provide everything we need.

The eyes have it! This week Raj and Noah see what they can see and welcome ophthalmologist Dr. Amanda Redfern to talk about all about our vision and the real effect screen time can have on our sight, whether glasses are inevitable, and teach us the 20/20/20 rule.Want to add to the conversation, or think you might be doing something wrong?

Luke 11:33-36 NIV“No one lights a lamp and puts it in a place where it will be hidden, or under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, so that those who come in may see the light. Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eyes are healthy, your whole body also is full of light. But when they are unhealthy, your body also is full of darkness. See to it, then, that the light within you is not darkness. Therefore, if your whole body is full of light, and no part of it dark, it will be just as full of light as when a lamp shines its light on you.”

Grandpa Bill today talks Eyeball Health-Eyes: The Window to the Soul and Eye Health Grandpa Bill is Asking today: How is Your Overall Eye Health? Interact and Leave Messages at The BH Sales Kennel Kelp Holistic Healing Hour Message BoardHello everyone, and welcome to my podcast on the eyeball and eye health. Today, Grandpa Bill is going to talk about how eyes are the gateway to our soul and our perception of the world, and what we can do to keep our eyes strong and sharp. I'll also discuss the inner eye, including the cornea, iris, pupil, lens, vitreous humor, retina, optic nerve, macula, and macular holes and degeneration. Eyes as the Gateway to the Soul: Our eyes are often said to be the window to our soul. This is because our eyes can express a wide range of emotions, from joy and love to sadness and anger. Our eyes can also reveal a lot about our health and well-being. Eye Health: Good eye health is essential for a good quality of life. Vision loss can make it difficult to perform everyday activities, such as reading, driving, and working. It can also increase the risk of falls and other injuries. How to Keep Your Eyes Strong and Sharp: There are a number of things you can do to keep your eyes strong and sharp, including: Eat a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Get regular exercise. Don't smoke. Protect your eyes from the sun by wearing sunglasses. Get regular eye exams. The Inner Eye: The inner eye is made up of several different parts, each of which plays an important role in vision. Cornea: The cornea is the clear front part of the eye. It helps to focus light and protect the inner eye. Iris: The iris is the colored part of the eye. It controls the amount of light that enters the eye. Pupil: The pupil is the black opening in the center of the iris. It allows light to pass through to the retina. Lens: The lens is a clear structure that sits behind the iris. It helps to focus light onto the retina. Vitreous humor: The vitreous humor is a gel-like substance that fills the inside of the eye. It helps to support the retina and keep it in place. Retina: The retina is a light-sensitive tissue that lines the back of the eye. It converts light into electrical signals that are sent to the brain. Optic nerve: The optic nerve is a bundle of nerve fibers that carries electrical signals from the retina to the brain. Macula: The macula is a central part of the retina that is responsible for sharp central vision. Macular holes and macular degeneration: Macular holes and macular degeneration are two common eye conditions that can affect the macula and lead to vision loss. Conclusion: Our eyes are precious gifts that allow us to see the world around us. By taking care of our eye health, we can protect our vision and enjoy a lifetime of good sight.

As with anything else in the body, the health of the eyes depends upon circulation and vascular health to deliver nutrients and remove waste/toxicity.When it comes to eye health there are many important considerations to maintain optimal vision and prevent or reverse eye conditions such as macular degeneration, glaucoma, cataracts, etc. In this Medicinal Monday episode as we Alter Your Health from Head to Toe we discuss some anatomy and physiology of the eye which helps us to understand how we can eat and live in a way to optimize eye health and function.There is SO much research that supports the benefits of increasing consumption of nutrient-dense whole plant foods and lowering toxic load, cholesterol, and saturated fats from diet. Additionally, we share some other helpful lifestyle considerations including hydrotherapy and "eye exercises" that promote health at any point in life.Of course, when it comes to eyes, there are many genetic and anatomical variations that exist between people leading to myopia (near-sighted), hyperopia (far-sighted), and astigmatism (variation of eye curvature). These refractive issues are generally corrected with glasses, lenses, or surgery such as LASIK or PRK. These common conditions are not the subject of today's episode.As always, you can join us live each Monday at 12 PT / 3 ET on the Alter Health YouTube Channel! https://www.youtube.com/alterhealthSome highlights from today's episode on EYES...Eyes are actually extension of the brain - the optic nerve that decodes the signals detected by "rod" and "cone" photoreceptors on the retinaWhen we look at the retina during an ophthalmic exam we are able to directly see the blood vessels that make up the microvascular system in the eyeDiabetes (insulin resistance), high cholesterol, and high blood pressure can all cause "retinopathy" which causes the damage of retinal tissue in the eye over time leading to conditions like age-related macular degeneration and glaucomaCataracts are opacities in the lens of the eye generally caused by eye trauma, oxidative injury (excessive UV light), or nutritional deficiency (antioxidants like vit C)Numerous phytonutrients (nutrients from PLANTS) have been proven to protect against eye diseases such as Vit C, Vit E, lutein, zeaxanthin, beta-carotene, and moreThere are basic "eye exercises" to support eye health such as regularly shifting from up-close vision (screens!) to more expansive panoramic vision (nature!) as well as generally tracking objects up close and far away (playing catch, watching birds fly, tracking objects in nature, etc)Links to some more good stuff-  Join Alter Health on Locals: https://alterhealth.locals.com/- Cleanse with Us during the next Alter Health Cleanse: https://www.alter.health/cleanse- Work with us in the Thrive on Plants program: https://www.alter.health/thrive-on-plants- ATTN Health Practitioners!

Dr. Daniel Laroche is an exceptional glaucoma specialist in New York. He informs us that about some key facts about glaucoma: 1. we don't need to go blind from this condition, and 2. that Blacks are disproportionally represented in the people afflicted with glaucoma--this in part due to inequities in location and access to good health care. Regular eye exams especially after age 40 are critical in ensuring good eye health. https://www.advancedeyecareny.com/

Side effects from medications are common. What may not be common knowledge is that there are systemic medications that can affect the eyes. For example, anti-hypertensive medications and some psychiatric medications are known to exacerbate dry eyes. Some oral medications can also adversely affect the retina, the delicate tissue inside the eye that receives the visual information. One of the most commonly used medications that can affect the retina is hydroxychloroquine (Plaquenil), a medication used to treat rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Its cousin, chloroquine, an anti-malarial medication, can also have the same effect on the retina. Use of hydroxychloroquine after years may cause accumulation of the medication in the RPE (retinal pigment epithelium), the layer underneath the retina. It is most likely to accumulate in the macula, the part of the retina that is responsible for central vision. Thus, this can cause significant loss of distance and reading vision. Risk factors for retinal toxicity from hydroxychloroquine or chloroquineDaily dosage greater than 400 mg per day or total cumulative dosage of over 1,000 grams.Medication use for over 5 yearsKidney or liver diseaseHistory of macular disease such as macular degenerationAge greater than 60 yearsPatients who take these medications should have an annual eye examination that may include OCT (ocular coherence tomography), visual field testing, color vision testing, and possibly an ERG (electroretinogram). Many times, early changes can be detected by the examination and ancillary testing even before the patient has symptoms. There is no treatment for this other than to stop the medication immediately. The blind spots that can occur are usually irreversible.Pentosan polysulfate (Elmiron) is a medication used for interstitial cystitis, a condition that can cause bladder pressure and pain. This drug can also affect the central macula and mimic macular degeneration. The risk factors for these changes are similar to hydroxychloroquine. There is no treatment other than to stop taking the medication. Here are some links to learn more about how these medications can affect the retina.https://www.aao.org/eyenet/article/hydroxychloroquine-induced-retinal-toxicityhttps://www.aao.org/eyenet/article/pentosan-polysulfate-maculopathyTo find out more about Dr. Christiane Hunt and her practice, go to her practice’s website or Facebook page.

What are the best herbs to consume when your eyes start to go through angiogenesis, the forming of new blood vessels? When new blood vessels form in your eyes, they tend to leak and obscure your vision causing blurry eyesight. How can you prevent the formation of new blood vessels? How can you better feed your eyes with the nutrients that can support them? Check out Dr. Grossman's latest podcast on "Herbs for Macular Degeneration and Diabetic Retinopathy" to find out! Also, check out our Sugar Balance and Blood Vessel Support Package that Dr. Grossman mentions in the podcast!

Quote (Nov. 6, 2020): "Failure will never overtake me if my determination to succeed is strong enough." (Og Mandino) Matt. 6:33"But seek first his kingdom and his righeousness,and all these other things will be given to you as well." Matt. 6:22"The eye is the LAMP of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body is filled with LIGHT."

Diabetes mellitus can affect the eyes in multiple ways. Even early in the diagnosis, high blood sugar levels can cause changes in the natural lens of the eye that can alter one’s refractive error (glasses prescription). Diabetes can also lead to earlier cataract formation. On this episode of the Healthy Eyes 101 podcast, Dr. Lisa Borkowski, a specialist with Midwest Retina, talks about diabetic retinopathy, one of the leading causes of vision loss in the United States and worldwide. Symptoms of diabetic retinopathy (DR) include blurred/distorted vision, an increase in floaters, or dark areas in the field of vision. However, many patients do not have any visual symptoms at all. This is why diabetics should have their eyes checked on a regular basis. Those with type I diabetes should get their first exam within 5 years of diagnosis. Those with type II diabetes should be examined soon after diagnosis because many of these patients may have had uncontrolled sugar levels for years. The two main categories of diabetic retinopathy are non-proliferative (NPDR) and proliferative (PDR). When blood sugar levels remain elevated, NPDR can cause the retinal blood vessels to leak or even close off. If the leakage occurs near the center of the retina (macula), there can be vision loss. With PDR, the more advanced stage of DR, new blood vessels form (neovascularization) on the surface of the retina. These fragile vessels can bleed into the vitreous gel and block vision. To properly diagnose DR, a dilated examination or extensive retinal photographs need to be performed by your eye care specialist. Many retina surgeons will also perform a fluorescein angiogram so that they can see areas of retinal swelling (macular edema) and new blood vessel growth. OCT (ocular coherence tomography) is useful for following changes in macular edema. Treatments for DR include eye injections with ant-VEGF medications, laser surgery, and vitrectomy surgery in the operating room. What can patients do to decrease their risk of losing vision from DR? Control the blood sugar levels and blood pressure and see your eye care specialist at the recommended intervals. Here is another great resource on diabetic retinopathy.

We have a choice regarding how we see things. In fact, what we see in our lives has less to do with the external realities than our internal frame of reference. Our vision is determined from within. And Jesus invites us to see correctly.

Dr. Ashley San Filippo returns to the Healthy Eyes 101 podcast to discuss MIGS (Minimally Invasive Glaucoma Surgery), a relatively new category of glaucoma procedures that have advantages over traditional glaucoma surgeries.Lowering eye pressure is the major goal of glaucoma treatment since this disease is not curable. Medicated eye drops, laser surgery, and traditional surgery are various ways to treat glaucoma. If patients are on maximum medical therapy with continued progression of their glaucoma, cannot tolerate the drops, or are non-compliant with taking their drops, then laser or surgical intervention may be necessary. MIGS has given patients a new avenue of treatment that has a much quicker post-operative recovery than traditional glaucoma surgery. While most MIGS are indicated to lower eye pressure in mild-to-moderate stages of glaucoma, their safety profile is favorable to trabeculectomies and glaucoma drainage implants. MIGS work by increasing outflow of the normal eye fluid or decreasing the production of the fluid. In the United States, most of the MIGS procedures have to performed in conjunction with cataract surgery.

“I've been having meetings through Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and conference calls in my office in my basement. I'm mostly working the phones and trying to stay in touch with everyone.”Beekman has a conference call every weekday morning with his fellow Big Ten athletic directors and new league commissioner Kevin Warren and his team. And he's staying in touch with Spartan coaches and student-athletes.  Beekman feels badly for the student-athletes who have worked so hard and who didn't get to finish their winter seasons and those who won't get to compete in spring sports.  “Yet in some ways it feels small in comparison to the life and death issues that so many people around the country are facing with loved ones in nursing homes they can't visit and loved ones on ventilators in hospitals. While we worry about athletics, we also have to keep in mind the context. Athletics is like the icing on the cake, and we have to worry about the cake right now.”  While student-athletes are off campus, the department is still able to provide services for them like remote academic support and training services, strength coaches sharing ideas for home workouts, and Zoom meetings with coaches and position coaches.  “We have students literally spread out across the world. Spartan athletes come to us from places like Korea, Japan, Spain, and South America. And there are students who are still living in East Lansing. Whether they're here in East Lansing continuing to live in our on-campus housing or whether they're on the other side of the world, we're trying to electronically make sure they're all well taken care of.”  One silver lining in the horrible cloud of dealing with the pandemic is the chance for coaches and staff to reconnect with their families. Athletics, like many other professions, can be a never-ending cycle where when one season ends, the next immediately begins. For now, that has slowed down, which provides an opportunity for a battery recharge.   “As Coach Mel Tucker says when we return, we'll be firing on all cylinders and relentlessly pressing ahead.  “And I say to our wonderful world of supporters that Spartan Athletics will be back. We'll be back stronger than ever. We're excited about the fall and the upcoming year. Immediately, though, I encourage people to follow the advice from medical experts and the Center for Disease Control and Prevention. Stay inside. Stay home. Don't be tempted, and let's all get through this together and come out on the other side. We can celebrate then. We need to take care of business now and make sure everyone stays healthy.”
