Dr. Berne highlights the potential to reverse conditions like glaucoma and cataracts through holistic practices and emphasizes the deep connection between eye health and overall brain function. Takeaways Holistic eye care focuses on treating the cause, not just symptoms. Vision therapy can improve eyesight at any age. Early development stages significantly impact visual health. Eyesight is a static measurement; vision is dynamic. Diet and lifestyle choices directly affect eye health. Cataracts and glaucoma can potentially be reversed. The liver plays a crucial role in eye health. Craniosacral therapy can improve vision by enhancing circulation. Emotional and psychological factors influence vision.
