from Optometry Unleashed · host Optometry Unleashed

What’s it really like to live with myopia? In this episode, Dr. Trevor Miranda chats with long-time patient Stu Hillyard about his personal experience with myopia and the unexpected ways it has shaped his life. Stu recalls first noticing his vision struggles in school and the impact his vision had on sports and everyday activities. He also shares the challenges of facing a retinal detachment and later undergoing cataract surgery. This conversation brings home how timely intervention and modern therapies can protect vision and help patients today take control of their vision.Thank You to our Sponsor(s)⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠HOYA Vision Canada⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Eye Care Collective⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Otto Optics⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enjoy the show?
