Episode Details

Today I’m bringing you behind the scenes of a session I did with somebody who’s dealing with nearsightedness and presbyopia. He’s a bit frustrated with the reading glasses because they’re making his eyes worse. So, I unpack his visual situation and we get to the root cause of his visual issues. Once we get to the root cause, we can begin to work on his visual transformation and we can work toward getting rid of his glasses. Enjoy the show.

Hey, everyone, its Dr. Sam, and I’d like to welcome you to another EyeClarity podcast. So today I bring you behind the scenes, I did a session with somebody who’s got nearsightedness, and also something called presbyopia. So reading glasses up close. But he’s a bit frustrated with the reading glasses because they’re making his eyes worse. And so I unpack his visual situation, and we get to the root cause. And then once we get to the root cause, well, now he can transform his vision, and he probably won’t need his glasses anymore. So I hope you enjoy the show. Thanks so much for tuning in.

All right, so what what would be your goals and objectives today?

01:41

I’m

01:44

getting a little bit of a handle on whether or not and when I should be wearing these glasses. And whether or not is actually making my vision deteriorate.

01:57

Because I kind of feel like it has. And just kind of steps forward to stop what I’ve noticed to be the diminishment of my vision in the last few months by wearing these glasses more. I don’t know if it’s causative, or correlative or what, but

02:19

I’ve noticed a significant change and I’m wanting to kind of halt the change. And you know, hopefully

02:29

kind of reverse if possible.

02:35

You can do that, of course.

02:39

That was this your first pair of glasses. Yeah.

02:44

It is. Okay. And what prompted you? What prompted you going to an eye doctor to well

02:55

explore that. It was about

I think it was about this time last year. I was like, okay.

03:06

So it had been for a few years,

03:11

where

03:14

what I noticed the most dramatically was if I looked at my phone first thing in the morning,

03:21

and then, you know, for anywhere from a minute to four or five minutes. And then I stopped looking at it and I looked into distance, I’d be like, oh shit, like, I can’t see anything. It’s like fuzzy everywhere. And it was a dramatic, I noticed a dramatic difference between

03:40

not looking at my phone and going about my business, and then looking at my phone and going about my business. And I’m like, and then I would notice my eyes.

03:52

When I worked on screens a lot

03:55

i

03:58

i would have trouble focusing on like the words would get a little blurry on the screen. And then when I looked

04:07

in the distance, things were a little blurry as well.

04:14

And that got a little worse, like progressively a little worse over time. I had great
