If you spend over five hours on screens daily, there's a 99% chance you have digital eye strain. Dr. Roger Wu, a board-certified optometrist, explains the science behind this modern epidemic and reveals the innovative, drinkable solution he invented to protect our vision.

After 25 years of clinical practice, Dr. Wu saw an explosion of screen-related eye issues—from dry eyes in 9-year-olds to early macular changes in young adults. Realizing traditional advice wasn't enough, he developed The Eye Drink, a science-backed beverage that delivers clinically proven AREDS2 nutrients and triglyceride-form Omega-3s in a highly absorbable format. Learn how this "Gatorade for the eyes" is revolutionizing preventive vision care for our screen-heavy world.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

· The shocking statistic: Why up to 99% of heavy screen users suffer from digital eye strain.

· The science of Macular Pigment Optical Density (MPOD) and how it acts as your eye's internal "sunscreen".

· The challenging journey of formulating a drink with sensitive nutrients like Omega-3s and making it taste great (not like "gasoline").

· Why a liquid delivery system offers superior bioavailability compared to traditional pills or capsules.

· The incredible results from a day-trader who drank The Eye Drink and saw a "huge spike" in his macular health.

This episode is essential for programmers, developers, students, and anyone whose life and work depend on screens.
