Let’s normalize this particular eye symptom-

Eye floaters and flashes are very common – up to 75% of people experience them!

To learn what you can do about floaters and when they’re NOT normal, comment PODCAST below, and I’ll send you the link to my interview with Dr. Krishna Mukkamala, all about flashes and floaters!

Healthy vision depends on ONE modifiable factor, more than even our genetics-

NUTRITION!

Yes, the choices you make on your plate most impact your vision health for the years and decades ahead.

For example, eating a diet rich in refined carbohydrates and simple sugars will put you at risk for diabetes, which is a leading cause of vision loss and blindness in the world.

Also a diet high in unhealthy omega-6 fats and processed foods, especially meats, will put you at risk for macular degeneration, while eating high amounts of foods rich in lutein and zeaxanthin will decrease your risk of vision loss by 43%!

Why are these ocular nutrition facts not readily taught to eye doctors?🤷🏻‍♀️

Because there’s no big company to promote their benefits.🤦🏻‍♀️

On my platform, I’m making it my mission to make more people aware of ocular nutrition – that carrots are just not enough to keep your eyes healthy, and that there are certain foods that may actually INCREASE the risk of certain eye diseases.

To learn more, check out my book on nutrition, Beyond Carrots - Best Foods For Eye Health A to Z- It’s available on Amazon in paperback and Kindle.

Comment CARROTS below, and I’ll send you the link!

While GLP-1 drugs have been used by millions of people around the world for both weight loss and diabetes control, there may be risks associated.

One vision risk is the potential link between GLP-1 drugs and a type of optic nerve stroke known as NAION.

Learn who may be at risk for NAION and what the research shows about its link to GLP-1s, plus what my recommendations are as a neuro-ophthalmologist who helps manage optic nerve stroke on a weekly basis.

I’m curious – would you consider taking a GLP drug if you knew that it may increase your risk for optic nerve stroke and vision loss?

I just had the funniest convo with my friend. She’s been dealing with a twitchy eyelid and I asked her what’s up.

Turns out, she’s at her wit’s end with her teenage daughter 😂. I told her don’t worry, I’ve got the same ‘condition’ - MOTS (Moms Of Teens Syndrome)!! 😂

But seriously, eyelid twitching is usually no big deal and goes away once you relax.😌

Have you ever had a pesky eyelid twitch? Spill the tea below ⬇️
