LampSight Podcast

Dr. Greg Johnson explores the profound interplay between art and science in vision care. Drawing parallels from artists using innovative paints to doctors blending empathy with pharmacology, the episode delves into how stress literally dims sight, impairing visual processing and contributing to myopia in children. From school pressures and playground dynamics to ocular motor inefficiencies, it critiques institutionalized education's hidden costs. Highlighting Dr. Ann Sutton Nichols' 1940s insights and behavioral optometry's empirical success, it advocates integrating modern myopia management (the "tuner") with neuro-behavioral approaches on the brain(the "conductor") for visual processing. Ultimately, science lays the canvas, but the soul paints the art.

Astigmatism, often confusing for many people, yet 80% of the people are said to have some degree of astigmatism. I discuss the role eye movements and posture play in the development and influence on astigmatism as well as the gift of benefits it may offer.

Here I discuss 1 simple practice that can add to your nutritional intake for your eyes and health. 

Through this episode, I share some content of a conversation I had with a dear colleague and lightly touch on why so many are blinded to the facts of myopia (and other diseases). I then discuss a simple activity that can be done with a doorway at home. I hope this information is a blessing.

This first episode I discuss real start of my understanding of my own myopia(nearsightedness) and detail the problem of rising myopia rates globally.
