Show Notes

This episode answers questions related to Visual Snow, the uses of glutathione, Idiopathic Juxtafoveal Tillandsia Ectasis, Lattice degeneration, Vitreous syneresis, Myopia, dry-eye syndrome, ocular migraines, white dot syndrome, and floaters.

Question 1

0:37 – 6:55

What is visual snow? Can eye drops or any of your eye exercises help?

Question 2

6:55 – 12:59

Dr. Berne, has your glutathione drops ever given someone a chronic cough? I read where it is sometimes given to asthma sufferers to clear their passages. Maybe I am allergic to glutathione? Thank you!

Question 3

12:59 – 20:06

I have a rare retinal disease called Idiopathic Juxtafoveal Tillandsia Ectasis.

I was wondering if you ever heard of it and are you treating people with it? I’ve had this condition for about 10 years. I am not interested in laser or eye injections. Thank you.

Question 4

20:06 – 24:51

Hello, Dr. Sam. I have listed all my eye diagnoses below. What do you recommend in terms of supplements, eye exercises (I don’t know which ones to do), or essential oils.   

  • Lattice degeneration in both eyes
  • Vitreous syneresis of both eyes.
  • Dry eye syndrome
  • Myopia (Right sphere -1.0 and left sphere -2.0)
  • Ocular migraines caused by bright light with zigzag and flashes.
  • 1+ nuclear sclerotic cataracts in both eyes.

Thank you SO VERY MUCH in advance for your help and also I LOVE your email articles and podcasts!!

Question 5

24:51 – 32:08

Hi! I had Lasik surgery when I was 18 years old and now I’m 30 years old.

Within the past 2 years I developed white dot syndrome in my left eye and I wanted to know if this diagnosis is related to the Lasik surgery? Is there anything I can do save my vision in my left eye?

I have also had an increase of floaters in both eyes and just recently have developed strain where I can feel it in the nerves and muscles of the eyes.

On top of all of that I’ve had dry eyes ever since I got the Lasik done. My question is there anything I can do? I’m still very young and don’t want my vision and these feelings to get worse. Thank you!
