Podcast 36: Community Q&A

Question 1 1:15 – 5:17 Have you written anything on the holistic management of diabetic macular edema? I am trying to help my father with this condition. I am so grateful for any direction you can provide! Question 2 5:17 – 9:39 I have a condition of swelling of the eyeballs. I have not been given a diagnosis during the 16 months I’ve had the condition.  What would you suggest I need to do? Question 3 9:40 – 14:00 Dr. Berne, Sometimes, I experience disoriented vision. Last time in the office, I looked at the computer screen on my left side by turning my head toward the left.  All of a sudden, I experienced double vision and disorientation.  I felt to have lost the control of my left eye resulting in a double vision. I remembered I tried to regain focus but I couldn’t. My vision was blurry for a while until it recovered by itself. It seemed turning my head so hard to the left might have caused a down-regulation of blood flow to the brain affecting the vision.  Another morning, I got up and found myself experiencing nausea. Again, I had a disorientation and a blurry vision while standing next to my bed. Today as I was standing up to watch TV for a while, then my left eye suddenly lost control and I felt disoriented.  My vision was blurry for a while because I seemed to have lost control of my left eye.  In the end, my left eye recovered focus naturally. What caused the disorientation, double vision, or blurry vision in my case? Question 4 14:00 – 17:45 I had a stroke on July 29, 2017, and lost my vision on the right side. My vision hasn’t got any better in approximately 10 months … is there help for me?
