    State of the Eye: A Call for Awareness and Advocacy I S3E1

    As the famous quote goes, “The eyes are the window to the soul,” and eye health education can help us keep our windows clear and bright. However, not everyone has equal access to this since there is a gap between the number of eye health professionals and the population they serve, especially in low- and middle-income countries. Hence, the lack of representation in the eye health field encourages us to do more to ensure that the professionals who serve our communities mirror the diversity within them. To bridge this gap, mentorship and education must play a central role, guiding young minds towards a future where they see themselves represented in the eye health profession. In this episode, Dr. Juliette and Karl will retrace the amazing path of the Visionuri Podcast from the early days of Season One to the vibrant Season Three and share the evolution of their mission to empower individuals through eye health education.

    When Life Gives You Lemons... | VISIONURI Podcast | S1E3

    When life gives you lemons, do NOT use them as eye drops. Our eyes are delicate. They require proper care and protection from harmful elements. The importance of eye protection often goes unnoticed until an incident occurs. Therefore, we must always prioritize eye health by seeking regular check-ups from reliable eye specialists and wearing protective eyewear. When faced with an eye injury in a place when we can’t seek immediate attention from an eye physician, we must allow our body to heal naturally instead of resorting to substances that could harm our eyes in the future.  "Let us treat them like precious jewels and cherish the sights they give us every day."   In this episode, Dr. Juliette and Karl will share a Nuri Letter from a listener who had a terrible experience of someone putting lemon drops on his eyes as first aid for an eye injury. They speak on the delicate nature of the eyes and how we can treat them with care when faced with an accident that requires proper cure and medication.

    Have you ever been curious about the factors that influence how well we see through our eyeglasses? Our bodies undergo various changes as we gracefully age, and our eyes are no exception to this natural change. If we only observe how people use their eyeglasses, how does it help them? For instance, when they hold small objects further away for better visibility, we see them putting chains on their glasses to keep them around their necks instead of bringing them closer. Hence, we must always pay attention to our eye health and the significance of choosing the eyewear that perfectly fits our unique eye conditions. We must also be heedful of how we treat our eyes to maintain and preserve our optimal vision.   In this episode, Dr. Juliette and Karl shed light on how crucial it is to have your eyes checked and receive the correct prescription so you can take proper care of your eyes. They delve into some of the behaviors we often see people do with their eyeglasses that we never understood but significantly influence our ability to see clearly.  Additionally, they reminisce on their experience meeting NURILENS customers in person as they pop for the culture.  Join the discussion on how aging affects the eye's natural lens and the factors we need to consider while selecting eyeglasses that will help us focus on maintaining good eye health.
