Vision health impacts every aspect of our daily lives, yet many of us overlook crucial warning signs our eyes are sending. Dr. Cal, an Air Force veteran turned eye care specialist and owner of Eagle Vision Eye Care and Eye Spa, joins us to share eye-opening insights about conditions we might be dismissing.
That burning sensation when staring at screens? The occasional blurry vision that clears after blinking? Those "stuck together" eyelids in the morning? These aren't just minor annoyances – they're your body signaling potential dry eye syndrome. Dr. Cal explains how this increasingly common condition connects to everything from our digital habits to underlying health conditions like diabetes. His holistic approach focuses on treating the root causes without medications, ensuring eyes receive proper nutrients to maintain optimal health.
Most fascinating is the discussion about children's vision health in our screen-dominated world. Dr. Cal reveals how excessive electronics use is causing abnormal eye elongation in kids, progressively worsening their vision. Through innovative treatments like orthokeratology, his practice helps slow this deterioration while eliminating the need for daytime corrective lenses – a game-changer for young athletes and active children. Beyond eye care wisdom, Dr. Cal shares powerful entrepreneurial advice for anyone facing business challenges: "Find your purpose, find your why" and "don't compare yourself to someone else's endpoint when you're at the beginning." His journey from military service to specialized eye care embodies the persistence and passion he advocates.
Ready to discover what your vision is trying to tell you? Listen now and consider scheduling your comprehensive eye health evaluation – because seeing clearly is about much more than just vision correction.
