The Importance of Protecting Your Eyes in Today’s Screen-focused World—with Dr. Marc Grossman Bottom Line Advocator
-
- Health & Fitness
There is an epidemic of
nearsightedness, thanks to our increasingly screen-focused world. It makes eye
doctors and eyeglass manufacturers happy, but what is it doing to you? And what
are the long-term ramifications?
Marc Grossman, OD, LAc, is a
holistic developmental/behavioral optometrist and licensed acupuncturist. His
practice is based on the belief that vision is not static and does not have to
degenerate. Vision can improve, and there are practical alternatives for
helping vision without stronger eyeglass and contact lens prescriptions or having
surgery.
In this episode of the Bottom Line Advocator Podcast, Dr. Grossman joins Bottom Line President Sarah Hiner to discuss how today’s digital world is harming your eyes and how a healthy diet and lifestyle, whole-body exercises and certain herbal supplements can protect your eyes.
