A few of my favorite things we cover in this episode: Claudias personal story: glasses at age 3, bullying, and becoming glasses-free again after retraining her vision Healing isnt linear: vision improved, declined again during stress, then improved again with recommitment The #1 driver behind declining vision: chronic stress and nervous system tension Screen use isnt automatically the culprit, but most people dont practice good visual hygiene Blinking + dry eyes: how quickly tear film thins and why screens reduce blinking Near point strain: eye muscles engaged up close, relaxed in distance, and why we werent designed for constant near work Tunnel vision vs peripheral vision: why stressed states narrow vision and reduce peripheral awareness Practical tools: palming, resting eyes, color of the day, language shifts (Im blind without my glasses), and attention training Light sensitivity: stress dilates pupils, increases sensitivity, and why gradual light exposure matters Night vision: rods vs cones, darkness adaptation, and why we dont give our eyes time to adjust Nutrition notes: glucose/A1C and cataracts, lutein/zeaxanthin, omega-3s, and gut-eye axis Her framework: refractive errors vs binocular/fusion issues vs eye disease (cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration) Her strains and gains concept: what drains you vs what energizes you, and how it impacts vision Results examples: cataracts improving alongside A1C improvements
