When we think about our health, it’s easy to forget our eyes. My eye health knowledge was almost nonexistent prior to today’s episode, and I learned a ton, like the fact that routine eye exams can actually reveal underlying medical conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes. Join me in today's episode as I speak with Dr. Joseph Allen, OD, FAAO, Dipl ABO. We discuss some of the root causes behind common eye conditions and eyesight deterioration, foods that can improve your vision, how to deal with digital eye strain, eye myths, and so much more.
