He emphasizes the importance of understanding the root causes of vision problems, the role of peripheral vision, and the influence of genetics on eye health. Additionally, he highlights the significance of liver health and nutrition in maintaining optimal vision, providing practical advice and exercises for listeners. Takeaways • Macular pucker is a condition where scar-like tissue forms on the macula. • Holistic approaches focus on root causes rather than just symptoms. • Nutritional support is vital for retinal health. • Peripheral vision exercises can alleviate stress on the macula. • Genetic predispositions can influence vision problems. • Lasik surgery may not address underlying vision programming. • Binasal occlusion can help shift focus away from the macula. • Liver health is crucial for eye function and nutrient absorption. • Regular detoxification can support overall eye health. • Maintaining a balanced diet and hydration is essential for vision. Sound Bites • "We want to get to the root cause." • "It's a very high concentration of cones." • "Reducing inflammation is key." • "Methylene blue helps mitochondria function." • "Nearsightedness starts in the mind." • "Support your pancreas and thyroid health."

So I've done a lot of video blogs on this subject and this particular person was diagnosed with macular pucker in the right eye. And here are some of the things that I recommended for her. So if you know somebody who's got a macular pucker This may be worth watching listening again, anything you can do to improve your macular health is really important, especially if you work on screens. So I hope you enjoy the show. Thanks for tuning in. Wow. And my perspective on vision is more whole body. Love me. Just say that holistic. And so whenever I see an eye problem, I try to look at the root cause or root causes and so some of the things I'm going to be saying to you are going to be a little different in the sense that we're not here to necessarily treat symptoms. We want to get to the root cause, you know, what has caused this macular shift and it just seems like it's it's in the right eye, not the left eye. At least that's what Your report says so to define a macular pucker. Sometimes it's called an epiretinal membrane problem or a cellophane maculopathy. So this is a condition where a thin layer like a scar like tissue forms on the macula and the macula is the center part of the retina, which is responsible for your detailed sharp eyesight. And the fovea is a little bit bigger and then the macula sits in that. It's a very high concentration of cones. It's also where we get our color vision, but it makes up less than 1 % of the real estate of our retina. But it's very important because it helps us with identification and details. So when you have a macular pucker, Sam Berne (02:26.918)
