Excessive screen time can negatively impact your cognitive and visual health, including symptoms such as headaches, eye strain, and nearsightedness. Aging is another factor that affects your vision and quality of life. However, relying on glasses may not be the only possible solution.
In this episode, Dr. Bryce Appelbaum, a leading figure in neuro optometry, sheds light on the often overlooked importance of vision training for overall well-being. Dr. Appelbaum emphasizes the need to challenge the status quo in how we perceive vision, which goes beyond mere eyesight.

Neuro optometry can unlock your vision’s hidden potential, leading to enhanced cognitive function and overall well-being. It brings groundbreaking techniques and approaches that can revolutionize how you see the world.
Dr. Appelbaum introduces easy-to-follow exercises that can be seamlessly integrated into your daily routine, leading to improved visual acuity and reduced eye strain. Incorporating these exercises into your lifestyle can enhance your vision and overall quality of life.
Consistent physical exercise can help you avoid many common health problems of aging. In the same way, eye exercises can reduce your need to wear glasses in the future, or at least slow down the need for prescription changes.
Simple exercises such as “eye push-ups” are designed to strengthen your eye muscles and enhance visual clarity, drawing parallels to the effort required for physical fitness. These short exercises can help reduce symptoms associated with excessive screen time and even help reduce the need to rely on glasses.

Dr Appelbaum is a pioneer in neuro-optometry passionate about unlocking life’s potential through vision. His expertise includes reorganizing the visual brain post-concussion to return to learn and return to life, remediating visual developmental delays interfering with reading and learning, and enhancing visual skills to elevate sports performance.
Dr. Appelbaum is on a mission to change the way the world views vision. He believes there is more to vision than just 20/20 eyesight and has developed programs to retrain the brain to revise the eyes.
