In this episode my guest is Jeffrey Goldberg, MD, PhD, professor and chair of the Department of Ophthalmology at the Byers Eye Institute at Stanford University. His clinical and research efforts focus on retinal and optic nerve diseases such as glaucoma and on discovering stem cell and nanotechnology treatments to cure blindness. We discuss how to maintain and improve eye health throughout life; the advantages and disadvantages of corrective lenses, including whether you should wear “readers”; the use and risks of contact lenses; considerations for LASIK eye surgery; floaters; dry eye; the importance of sunlight and UV protection; and specific exercises to improve eye and vision health. Dr. Goldberg also explains age-related conditions—cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy—and the behavioral, supplementation-based, prescription and surgical tools used to promote eye health. This episode provides essential tools for listeners of any age and background to maintain eye health and offset vision loss.
