Question 1: Arlene: “What is your opinion of Lipo vision drops?” Question 2: “What is the relationship between dyslexia and vision?” Visit Dr. Sam’s Videoblog link: https://www.drsamberne.com/?s=dyslexia Question 3: Ben: “I’ve been experiencing dizziness during these long Zoom meetings following the Coronavirus social distancing. I’m a graduate student and an intern, and I’ve started using reading glasses two years ago. I also struggle with high blood pressure. Any suggestions?” Question 4: “So yesterday after I did the eye exercises with the string my double vision seemed improved for a while, but then when I went for a walk about 6pm my double vision was worse than ever and I couldn’t look out in the distance or I would get dizzy, only at the ground in front of me. This morning I am trying the exercise and I get to the 3rd bead–the farthest away and one string disappears completely and I can’t get it back. I try un-focusing until I see 2 beads and then bring them together, but as soon as they start to overlap the string just disappears (my left eye). And then I get dizzy. So, seems like things are definitely changing, but just wanting to make sure that this makes sense and I should keep trying...Thanks,” Question 5: “What do you think of sungazing?”

Question 1: “I saw your post on homeopathic glasses. Can you go into more detail in what you mean by homeopathic lenses?” Question 2: “Your post intrigued me about optic nerve health and energetic interference. Can you elaborate?”

Question 1: “I have a question for you... I have a baby daughter (just turned 1), and she goes cross eyed sometimes. It seems like she is playing, because she kind of zones out for a few seconds smiling and laughing often when doing it, and then her eyes go back to normal. We haven’t thought anything of it (and figured it will be something she just grows out of). But I wanted to check with you. (Note: She does not appear to have any visual struggles, or any signs of any developmental issues — she is healthy, happy, moves well, sees well, hears well, etc.) From googling, it looks like intermittent accomodative estropia.” Q2: “What advice do you have for lattice degeneration?” Q3: “Hi Dr. Sam! I enjoyed your Vision Sanctuary Retreat. You talked about Mugwort as a tea that can help the eyes and body. Can you elaborate?”

Question 1: How does the diagnosis Nystagmus affect my vision? Question 2: Why do I include green tea in my eye vitamin? 3. What are the best things I can do to prepare for cataract surgery? And what are the best things I can to heal after the surgery.

Question 1: “I’ve been dealing with dizziness and a loss of a sense of balance for over two years. I feel like the eye doctors don’t look beyond eyes and the other doctors I’ve seen don’t look at eyes at all. I have hyperopia and amblyopia which resulted in esotropia as a child. I haven’t had any surgeries. I’ve been experiencing double vision more often lately so I’ve assumed this is related to the dizziness. I’m 31 now and noticed an increase in double vision about 3 years ago. I’ve seen 2 ophthalmologists and 3 optometrists in the last 2 years. I did 32 weeks of vision therapy to try to correct the strabismus. After vision therapy was unsuccessful I was prescribed 1.00 base out prism glasses. I didn’t like the 1.00 prism glasses since they were combined with a pretty strong progressive prescription that made me feel like I’m looking through a fishbowl and I found them disorienting. I have resumed wearing non-prism lenses just because they feel more comfortable. My first physical therapist’s diagnosis was pressure on my occipital nerves. Since I’ve had the eye alignment issues all my life it’s hard for me to not keep thinking that’s where the problem is. I’m hesitant to have my neck operated on for obvious reasons but definitely because I don’t know if it will fix my dizziness and balance issues. My uneducated theory on this is that I’ve had eye strain for so long from my strabismus and perhaps even from straining through my hyperopia that it’s crept down to my neck. This theory is due to the fact that the neck issues are on my left side which is my good eye that does most of my seeing. I also think the weakness in my eye muscles from strabismus may be why I’ve failed the VNG tests. Does this sound plausible?” Question 2: “Hi Dr. Berne, I was dx with age-related macular degeneration (dry) 3 years ago. I go to my eye doctor every 6 months and he says things are getting worse. I have complained that I see better out of my naked eye than his glasses. I wear progressive lenses. My only complaint is I don’t see well at night when I drive. Otherwise I can see clearly when I read. What do you suggest?”
