Welcome, Dr. Byrne. Thank you. Great to be here. So as I mentioned, you know, we’ve had so many speakers speak about whole food plant based nutrition. We speak about it all the time and we’ve kind of ignored eye health, kind of just taken it for granted. I guess I started this when I was in my 40s and my eyes were pretty good. we didn’t really think about it, but for anyone that’s having challenges with their eyes,
That’s really a huge concern. we certainly would rather be proactive than reactive on this subject. If you could just take a minute maybe just to introduce yourself and tell us what you’ve been doing with your career for the last, you know, 10 years 20 years and then I’ll start asking you questions. Okay, thanks. So for the last 20 years, I’ve been doing patient care research and teaching.
And my mission is to bring holistic vision care to the mainstream. I have a pretty active social media following also have a podcast and I’m just inspired to help people take back their vision.
Great. Okay. I’d like to try if it’s okay with you to ask you quite a number of questions. So instead of feeling like you have to cover everything on every question, I’ll ask you a lot of questions. You can answer just that and then we’ll go on to the next question. So you have a chance to talk about a lot of things. Does that sound good? Yeah, fire away, Steve. Here we go. So could you elaborate?
what the functional medicine approach to vision entails beyond traditional optometry. Well, there two parts to it. The first is functional nutrition and that relates to how the the gut and how our diet
affects the micro capillary circulation and the mitochondria function in the eyes because after about age 40, we start developing oxidative stress and inflammation and then we go to a traditional eye doctor and he starts diagnosing with a variety of conditions or you know, if you wear glasses or contacts your eyes get progressively worse. So in functional nutrition, I’m looking at
What are the best foods we should eat the best best lifestyle practices? And so that’s the first category. The second category is, you know, when you get your exam where most eye doctors just have you read the distance chart and that’s really your eyesight. It’s not vision. Vision is how the eyes in the brain and the body integrate and work together. So it’s a brain experience.
So how you use your eyes functionally affects the structure anatomy of the eyes eventually. So if you’re in a repetitive state of movement with your eyes and vision or you’re wearing glasses or contacts that perpetuate or reinforce a weakness, then it just gets worse and worse. So in functional vision therapy.
What I’ve developed is a way to help re-educate the habits and bring people to a better space around their vision functionally and this reverses the structural deterioration.
Thank you. You’ve seen improvements in cataracts and macular degeneration with nutritional changes. are the foundational dietary recommendations you typically make? Well, number one is eliminating moderate to high glycemic index sugars. Number two is reducing inflammatory foods and you know, the bad fats.
And then number three is to protect yourself from the damaging blue light emitted from our screens and using iridology, you know, analyzing the patterns of the iris. We can look at your constitutional type to see whether or not, you know, what
What specific health practice you can do to mitigate any deterioration and then in addition to the Constitution, we can look at the different patterns genetic tendencies and nurture points and our glands organs and digestive areas and then we can really fine-tune and pinpoint what foods you should eat what lifestyle changes you should make and in all of
the cases, I recommend boosting mitochondria function in the eye either through red light therapy. could also do methylene blue, which is kind of an it kind of amplifies the red light therapy or you can do certain foods that stimulate mitochondria function. So if you do all those things, you are being proactive in interrupting and in many cases reversing the deterioration in these eyes.
diseases. Say one more thing with cataracts. If you catch it early, if you increase your glutathione and vitamin C, those two ingredients have been found to be really potent for slowing down the aging process in cataracts or macular degeneration.
Thank you. Could you explain the importance of carotenoids like lutein and zeaxanthin for maintaining macular and lens health? Sure. So the carotenoids help protect the macula by creating kind of like a similar metaphor would be like wearing sunglasses. So it deflects the damaging blue light. Now, if you’ve had cataract surgery,
The intraocular lenses don’t even have any blue protection in them. So this is where lutein and zeaxanthin become even more important. Now dosage on a daily basis. You should be doing about 16 milligrams of lutein and about four to six milligrams of zeaxanthin daily.
Couple things though. These are fat soluble vitamins. So you want to make sure your liver gallbladder are working well because you can be either taking the supplements or eating the you know, the rainbow vegetables. But if you’re not absorbing the fat soluble vitamins because the liver gallbladders is not working are not working well, then what’s the point? So you’ve got to make sure your liver gallbladder are
working properly so you can.
Absorb them. There’s one other one that you haven’t mentioned, but I think I should mention it. It’s called astaxanthin. So astaxanthin is a third carotenoid. It’s actually a marine carotenoid. You can get that from wild-caught salmon, you know, the pink seafood. You can also if you’re vegan or vegetarian, you can get it from algae. So you want to get four to six milligrams a day of the astaxanthin. The astaxanthin along with the lutein and the
Chorizanthin works synergistically that will protect your macula and if you’ve been diagnosed with either dry or wet macular degeneration, you should start taking those carotenoids immediately. Thank you. Why is glutathione?
considered a crucial antioxidant for eye health and what dietary sources or supplements might you recommend? So glutathione is a powerhouse antioxidant. It’s produced in the liver and some of the best foods that you could get glutathione from would be either the cruciferous vegetables or garlic onion.
those things or I would recommend a liposomal glutathione. So that means that it’s kind of fat molecule and it’s sublingual and so I’m not recommending any companies but you can do your research, but you want to get a liposomal
glutathione because it’s going to be protected in a fat molecule. So when you swallow it, it’s not going to get, you know, eaten up by digestive enzymes. So either or another thing you could do is get IV glutathione, although it doesn’t stay in the body that long. But certainly I’ve had many patients going for IV glutathione and they will say immediately their eyesight is much clearer. So
glutathione is one of those really power houses of antioxidants and it’s in a high concentration in the lens of the eye as is vitamin C. So if you’re developing cataracts, you’re probably low in those two antioxidants. I would start boosting them either through supplementation and or foods. Okay, you might have just answered this but how do omega-3 fatty acids and DHA
specifically benefit the health of the optic nerve and retina? Well, the retina is made up of about 50 % essential fatty acids and you know, in in the neuroscience literature, they’re always talking about how omega-3 is really good for the brain, know, the brain and maybe 50 % fat and so the omega-3 is first of all for glaucoma.
It is a requirement that if you’ve been diagnosed with glaucoma, you should start taking at least two to 3000 milligrams a day of a really high potency DHA EPA primarily DHA and then with any kind of retinal disease. Again, omega-3 is critically important as an anti-inflammatory agent, but also just feeding the retina. Also omega-3 has been shown to
help mitigate some of the dry eye symptoms. Now dry eyes a complicated condition. We can talk more about that because there many levels and layers on why we develop dry eye. But you know, I think that everybody should be on a good omega-3 because we don’t produce it in the body and you know, you need to do your due diligence on companies that do their third-party testing, but it’s certainly it’s essential.
For high health. Thank you. What are the primary metabolic factors contributing to cataract development and how can these be addressed holistically? Well, one of the main ones and I’ve heard some of your speakers talk about it is the process called glycation. So in the lens what happens is the glucose molecule binds itself to the protein molecule of the lens and this creates cloudiness.
And you know, in all the patients I’ve seen over the years, and this is also in the literature, if you have a difficult time with glucose metabolism, you’re probably going to develop cataracts and possibly even, you know, diabetic retinopathy or wet macular degeneration. So the key here is that you need to really take care of your pancreas health.
and you know, be aware of what you’re doing around your sugars, even carbohydrates. You know, a lot of my patients will say, well, I do a fruit smoothie bananas and you know, all these sugary fruits. So we try to move them off of that. I would say berries are probably okay. Citrus fruits are probably okay, but you need to really monitor this glycation situation and also it can be a cause of eye floaters.
because that glycation molecule will attach itself to the protein molecule of the vitreous the gel sack and this also is a creation of floaters. So glycation wreaks havoc on the eyes as it does on the body and it really accelerates the aging process. So we’ve had a lot of speakers talk about diet and we’ve asked them a lot of questions. And when it comes to supposedly healthy fats meaning raw seeds.
nuts, raw organic seeds, nuts, avocados, olives. Those four things, that’s question one. And then question two would be olive oil, hemp oil, flax oil. So question one, seeds, nuts, olives, avocados. Question two, supposedly healthy oils such as hemp, flax, olive. How do these affect eye health?
Well, it’s obvious big time, know, when we do seeds and nuts again, you know, I like to do dehydrated and organic if possible chia seeds are a great source of omega-3 and of course walnuts. You know, we’ll recommend something like a smoothie where we’ll use a few seeds and nuts and cacahuas 70 % and that’s a nice way to get
your fats and all the great stuff that’s in cacaua avocados. You’ve got lutein in in avocados, which is great. And you know, when I travel, I always bring an avocado on the plane and that’s one of my snacks. And in terms of the fats, you know, three six and nine again, I’ve heard some of your speakers talk about how we get too much six or nine and not enough three. I think it’s a balancing act.
act, but I, you know, I love things like, you know, organic olive oil, hemp seed oil. mean, it’s all moderation and high quality. So I don’t think we get enough fats and oils in our diet. I think it’s one of the areas that we forget about or we’re eating fats that aren’t really high quality, which are going to accelerate oxidative stress and inflammation.
So I, you know, I’m with most of your speakers around. need more healthy fats three, six and nine and you know, you’ve working with a functional medicine doctor that can help fine tune, you know, exactly what you need. But you know, it’s essential for your eye health. You challenge, thank you. You challenge the idea that the vision must deteriorate with age.
What are some fundamental strategies to maintain or even improve vision in older adults? Number one only wear your glasses when you need them take them off and go without your glasses and non demanding and non threatening situations. Number two get morning sunlight at least 30 minutes every morning number three limit your screen time.
Take frequent breaks. If you’re on screens phone tablet or computer number four, your lifestyle is such where you want to get out into nature and get away from the EMFs because that actually affects your eyes and number six heal your emotional health because emotions definitely have an effect on the eyes and number seven.
cultivate your liver gallbladder thyroid and pancreas health and we see this again in our iridology readings and we can tell if there’s you know, genetic tendencies or nurture points, but you know doing a liver cleanse once or twice a year is awesome for for clearing up your eyesight and reversing the aging in your eyes.
What just 30 second what what what’s your version of a liver cleanse? Well, a simple one is get some warm lemon water in the morning. Add bitter green vegetables to your salads, you know for lunch and before bed put a drop or two of castor oil on your liver and put a heating pad or a hot cloth over it for 10 or 15 minutes, which is like a castor oil pack.
Those are really simple practices for supporting liver health.
So the next question, I guess, is the question is what are the specific mechanisms by which blue light from digital devices can be damaging to the retina and contribute to macular issues? But let’s just, the term blue light was not a term we were using 10 years ago. It wasn’t a term that most people even heard about five years ago. And now all of a sudden, not all of a sudden, but we’re hearing people say.
That blue light is an issue when you need special blue light blocker glasses. What is blue light? Why is it a concern? What should we do? Not all blue light is bad. But if you look at the nanometers between 405 and 455, that is a chaotic blue wavelength. And when that blue wavelength touches your eyes, it creates dryness. also can over time.
create eye strain or eye fatigue. And so on the in the short answer is that when you expose yourself to the 405 to 455, you’re setting yourself up to have this I call it a neurotoxin that’s coming into your eyes. And the French government did 400 page paper on the ill effects of blue light.
from children to adults in the US and I just attended a conference. It was a mainstream allopathic eye conference. They did not really think blue light has some issues. However, blue light definitely is going to affect your pineal gland. It tricks the melatonin and it can create sleep problems.
The thing with blue blocking glasses is that it’s in the marketplace. So there’s a lot of predatory products out there that say, you know, they do this and they do that even the best blue blocking glasses only only cut out about 30 % of the blue light. So it’s not a hundred percent. That’s where you have to take your carotenoids. You have to you know, get out in the natural sunlight. I do think that blue protecting lenses.
Are certainly worth it. You can also get things on your screens. You can also get software that will deflect some of the blue light, but there isn’t any one thing that’s going to completely block you from the blue light. So you’ve got to have good visual resiliency, good visual skills. I wouldn’t wear progressive lenses. Those are the invisible bifocals when you’re working on the computer because that’s going to stress your eyes.
So there’s some things that you can do functionally. There’s some functional vision therapy exercises that you can do obviously nutrition and diet and it’s just like anything else. You don’t want to be running marathons with your eyes and that’s what people do on their screens. So it’s all moderate, but I would say that blue light definitely has an ill effect. And if you’ve had cataract surgery, you want to definitely protect yourself from blue light.
because the IOL they’re putting in doesn’t correct you or protect you and you’re not told that in in the surgery. So those would be some of the things I would spotlight and blue light. It’s definitely an issue. the way, how many eye doctors in the country have your knowledge base? Is this there a lot of people that know this or is this unusual because I haven’t heard
I wasn’t I’m not aware of that many that speak with the wealth of knowledge on this that you have. Well, I you know, I can’t speak for for others. I am doing a practitioner training now. So I know that the people that I’m training they’re going to they’re going to get my knowledge. There is an organization called covd.org and there are a group of behavioral optometrists who do some form of vision therapy to what
A degree. I don’t know. There’s also a group called the College of Syntonic Optometry and they do light therapy. Again, I don’t know what their database is. I know for me, I had some really great mentors who aren’t alive anymore who really, know, I was 28 years old and I had five 70 year old behavioral optometrist developmental optometrist.
You know, so I got a big transmission there. And the other thing is I do have a broad perspective. So I’ve studied acupuncture, craniosacral, aromatherapy, functional medicine, energy medicine, and many other things. So I look at myself as a physical therapy optometrist and a naturopathic optometrist. I don’t know too many people who wear those hats, but
You know, that’s that’s what I do and I’ve been doing it 40 years. So I’ve got a big base of patients and you know, that’s why I keep doing it because it’s great and on social media, you know, we have over 280,000 followers. So something is getting struck there on the cord of you know, the information I’m conveying. Thank you. What are some common myths about eye health that you frequently encounter and would like to dispel?
Number one, you don’t have to live out your doctor’s diagnosis doctors allopathic diagnosis number two, your eyes don’t have to get worse as you get older. They can actually get better and number three, you can improve your vision at any age. I have patients between 85 and 90 that are improving their vision. They’re either reducing their prescription their
getting their driver’s license renewed, even if it’s just daylight. They’ve had pretty severe diagnoses that we’ve been able to reverse in terms of diseases. So, you know, when you go to the regular doctor again, if they don’t see it in their mind that you can improve it, then of course they’re going to stay in their indoctrinated ways. I’ve had the good fortune to see a lot of healing with people’s eyes and vision.
So I can recognize if somebody is open to do it and their body intelligence says, hey, I want to do this. I’m doing it in other areas. We find this all the time that even giving somebody a reduced prescription can actually improve their eyesight and vision and this happens all the time. And then if they want to go deeper, you know, the longer they work with me the more benefits they get.
Thank you. Beyond diet, what are your top five nutritional supplement recommendations for overall eye health and why?
Okay, so a disclaimer. I do not distribute any products because the product markets that I see do not meet my criteria for safety and protection of the consumer. So that being said, I’m just going to speak generally here. And what I would say is that you know number one
And I’m to go in a little different direction here. I think the thyroid health is really important. A lot of people have low thyroid. So seaweed, dulse and kelp are really important in terms of liver health. The three herbs that I love. So I’m going more herbal than just, you know, vitamins and minerals. Burdock root, yellow dock and milk thistle that combination. If you want to do a really good liver cleanse, that’s a great
combination. I think that if you can, you know, do like eye compresses things like dandelion, rude or golden seal, chamomile, eye bright, although that’s hard to get even colloidal silver. If it’s a really high quality that can be really good at, you know, as an antibacterial agent. I also do a lot with essential oils and my number one
essential oil is frankincense and I’ll put it on the temples massage it on the back of the neck and on the third eye. We did a we did a post on Facebook on frankincense that very thing and we got over 1 million views. So something is is resonating with people using frankincense as a way to improve the vision. Obviously, we talked about Omega 3’s those are really good.
for glaucoma adding things like ginkgo, bilberry, taurine for macular degeneration, saffron and turmeric are really good. Bilberry is great for night vision and improving peripheral vision. So, I mean, there’s a lot of different avenues around the supplementation. But you know, if you press me, I’m still saying no processed foods.
and rainbow diet. I love doing smoothies like vegetable smoothies like using ginger root, turmeric root, beets, celery.
cabbage, wheatgrass, you know, and use a hot tea. So if you’ve got, you know, say issues with your bones, I would do something like oat straw tea. You’ve got respiratory issues, Mullen tea, and that’s a hot tea that you would put in the blender or the Vitamix. Getting those plant enzymes is really, really important in the morning. I find that people aren’t getting enough really good enzymes and you know, you can take supplemental enzymes, but
It’s not the same as you know, getting into your Vitamix and working that way. So I don’t know if I answered your question, but those are that’s my that’s my perspective on on what you asked. Thank you. What are your thoughts on wearing contact lenses full-time versus allowing the eyes periods of rest without them? Well, I definitely think contacts are great part-time sports and social.
You don’t want to for near-sightedness. You don’t want to get over corrected for distance with contacts because then you’re going to need reading glasses over the contacts. So tell your doctor you want to be a little bit under corrected for distance and near-sightedness in far-sightedness. If you were contacts again, you don’t want to wear something so highly magnified because then you’re going to lose your distance.
And you don’t want to do monovision where you’re correcting one eye for distance and one eye for near and then wearing the contacts part-time is a good strategy because you know what happens is when we work contacts full-time we get a false sense that our eyes are really good and that’s the farthest thing from the truth. That’s what’s great about the glasses because you can take them off in certain instances.
You get to allow your system to relax and your point is well taken around the contacts because it can create a dryness. It can affect the ocular microbiome. That’s right. We do have a microbiome and so taking the lenses off allowing your eyes to breathe and just being moderate when you wear the contacts. I think they’re a great, you know, a great optical system to use.
Just as a general answer, not best case scenarios, how likely is it that we can improve our eyesight? I know a lot of what we’re talking about is how to prevent our eyesight from getting worse, but in your experience, not the couple of cases where everything went great, the average person who’s using glasses and contacts, are you saying that we can maintain our eyesight or are you saying you could actually have better vision? What are we, what is the, end?
New York Spurgeon. So who who’s the population? it in this conference or is it more in the general mainstream where they’re not in this conference? Who who are you targeting here? A motivated person that was saying I would be very interested in. Okay, if they’re motivated and they have some, you know, background in holistic health.
Then I would say it’s probably a 95 % chance that there can be some improvement. And what I see with people when they when they take that on the release around them actually experiencing the improvement reduces their stress by about 250 % and I see it all the time like people come in. I don’t know exactly what you do. I’ve heard good things.
I’m interested in my mindset as I want to improve it. Great. Then I can at least give them three things that they will experience some level of improvement and the stress release that they get from that is profound.
Thank you. Tell me or tell us about LASIK or the equivalent of LASIK. What you know what it is how well it works if there are side effects and also for someone who’s already undergone LASIK and is experiencing returning vision issues. What holistic strategies you might recommend. So LASIK is a refractive store refractive surgery and a long line of refractive surgeries that used to be called PRK back in the day.
Basically, what the surgeon does is he’s changing the shape of the eyeball, the front of the eyeball to reduce the prescription in the eye. And one of the sayings we have in our practice is it’s not the eye that causes the prescription. It’s the programming behind the eyes that causes the prescription and that’s an important point because if you do believe that it’s the
Programming that causes the prescription. Well, what you’re changing is just the end result symptom, which is the prescription in the eye. That’s what you’re doing with lasik, but you’re not going back to the operating system and reprogramming that so now you have the lasik surgery and the operating system is still operating in the old model, which is I’m going to still
have the same programming and then you’ve got this new hardware. That’s like it’s not fitting. So what you have to do is you either have to ignore the programming and then you’ll probably stay more in a success space. You know that sweet spot where you go. Hey Lasix great. There’s no problems, but you’ll see it in other areas either in the body intention that you carry or other weird.
Things that may show up in the eyes side effects. Yes, there are many in lasik surgery like dry eyes starburst and a revert back to again, the operating system is much stronger than the lasik procedures. So that you you move back into the the prescription that you had before you had the surgery. Now there are physical therapy exercises that I’ve developed.
that can help people post surgically integrate what the lasik surgery has done to the eye. You know, we have eye surgery, but we never do physical therapy after it. In fact, it’s invalidated. It’s taboo. If you bring it up with your surgeon, they always say, that doesn’t work. It’s, you know, mumbo jumbo, but you go have a knee operated on or a shoulder and you go to physical therapy.
Remember, I said about 10 minutes ago, I’m a physical therapy optometrist. So when somebody is at surgery, we need to do surgery. We need to do physical therapy afterwards so that they can integrate the programming the operating system with the new information that’s in the eye. If you do that, you can mitigate a lot of the deterioration that comes in the last point. I want to make and I mentioned this at
class is that in 2018, the New York Times did an expose on the FDA FDA and Lasik surgery and actually the person who helped approve the Lasik surgery worked for the FDA was quoted in the article saying that he probably wouldn’t approve of the surgical procedure today because he’s seen so many horror stories and that article really reveals the shadow side of Lasik surgery.
Even though you know on the mainstream media, it’s really, you know, very popular and celebrities and athletes that do it and it really can create confusion between the eyes and the brain.
Thank you. What is grounding or earthing and how might it contribute to overall wellness and potentially impact eye health in our modern
Well, grounding and earthing is an opportunity for you to get into the energy fields of the earth and all our shoes are rubber. We don’t walk barefoot anymore and we’re spending all of our time either in cars or cement. We’re not in nature. And so the emf’s build up and
One of the places that I see emf’s really cause problems is if you wear metal glasses. Sorry Steve. It conducts emf’s into the ice. So you want to go more with a plastic frame and taking your lenses off. We use grounding. We have mats that you can, you know, actually put your feet on when you’re working on the computer. We also have it on our massage table.
When I’m doing crania sacral, you can even put a grounding mat on your bed if you want to so kind of depends on your environment. I mean if you live in a city where there’s a lot of wireless and you can’t get yourself into a barefoot place in nature that I would definitely get grounding and earthing in your apartment or your house definitely helps. Now if you can get out into nature and you can get into the Schumann wave, which is a very slow
Frequency that comes into our body and resets us if you can do that and you can meditate and you can walk in bare feet and then, you know, you don’t need the grounding map. But I think it’s really important. A lot of holistic health practitioners talk about it. It’s the real deal.
What are your recommendations for individuals who spend many hours working on digital screens to mitigate potential eye strain and damage? Well, first of all, I would recommend having their optometrist prescribe or at least test their eyes that what is the best prescription at the computer? One of the things that happens that I see a lot is that people get a distance prescription.
But that prescriptions for 20 feet and so when they use it at the computer, it’s going to create eye strain. It’s too strong for them. That’s on the near-sighted side on the far-sighted side. If you’re wearing reading glasses, like when you look at your phone, that magnification is going to be too strong for you at the computer so that you want to get a weaker magnification lens at the screen distance. I think it’s important to at the very least take
frequent frequent blade breaks set up things where you can deflect the EMFs whether it’s crystals or you can get these EMF protectors. Very important. I think getting out in the morning natural sunlight is also critically important. Of course, blue protection is part of it and hydrate hydrate hydrate hydrate. I don’t know if anybody at your conference has talked about
the benefits of hydrogen water. We’re using it now to be part of the support of macular problems and cataracts. So hydrogen water, structured water, I’d be drinking really high potency water, really, really good. And, you know, I use essential oils. We might distill those in the environment. So you’re oxygenating and hydrating.
