Show 978: Protecting Our Eyesight

We often take our sight for granted, and wrongly assume that there is nothing that can be done to keep vision problems from occurring. Our guest has combed the medical literature to find ways to prevent or even reverse conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration and glaucoma with natural approaches.

Around the world, there is a huge increase of nearsightedness in children. What environmental factors are contributing, and how can we reverse their influence?

We also learn about eating well to nourish the eyes and protect our visual health.
