Stop Ruining Your Eyes: Screen Habits, Dry Eyes, Blue Light & HOW LASIK or SILK Helps

Description: In this podcast, I speak with Dr. Mahipal about eye health in the digital age, why screen time increases myopia, how dry eyes and blue light cause eye strain, and the silent risks of glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts. We break down simple habits like the 20–20–20 rule, UV protection, and safe use of eye drops. We also cover modern cataract surgery, LASIK/SMILE options, and contact lens safety. So you can protect your vision with science-backed clarity. ----- 00:00 – Intro 02:39 – Screen Time, Sunlight & the Science Behind 09:50 – When Should Children Get Eye Exams? 12:00 – Preventing Digital Eye Strain 15:30 – Blue Light, UV Exposure 18:30 – Nutrition for Eye Health 21:50 – Dry Eyes, Pollution & Overuse of Eye Drops 24:00 – Glaucoma & Diabetic Retinopathy 27:30 – Why Reading Glasses Become Necessary 31:30 – Contact Lenses: Safe Use, Risks & Common Mistakes 34:12 – 🔴 INTEGRATION: NEW ME (Lifestyle & Health Transformation Programme) 35:24 – Centre for Sight: Technology & Subspecialties 38:00 – Causes, Timing & Modern Stitch-less Surgery 43:30 – Femto Laser Cataract Surgery vs Traditional Phaco 48:00 – Intraocular Lenses: Mono-focal, Toric, Trifocal & EDOF 52:00 – LASIK & Laser Vision Correction 58:00 – SMILE, SILK & Implantable Lenses 01:05:00 – Right Eye Surgery & Final Practical Advice ----- Medical comedy (Medcom) shows: I love doing medical comedy (medcom) stand-up shows.
