  Speaker 2: you consider the challenges this day presents, do not wear
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: yourself out by worrying about whether you can cope with
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: the pressures. Keep looking to me and communicating with me
• 1:11
  Speaker 2: as we walk through this day together. Take time to
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: rest by the wayside, for I am not in a hurry.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: A leisurely pace accomplishes much more than a hurried striving.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: When you rush, you forget who you are and whose

  Speaker 2: you are. Remember that your royalty in my kingdom.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Stay tuned.

  Speaker 2: Seven two seven nine one six four two one five.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: In the time it takes to look through a lens
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: and shine a light, your eye, doctor can inspect your arteries,
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: your veins, and your nerves, the only place in the
• 2:59
  Speaker 2: human body were all three. You're visible without a single incision.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: What's happening in your eyes indicate issues with other parts
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: of your body high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke, autoimmune disease,
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: diroid problems, even sexually transmitted diseases. The eye, as often
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: as we hear, is the window to the soul, but
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: many doctors will say it's the window to our health.
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: Says doctor Joseph Allen, optometrist, founder of Doctor Eye Health.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: The eye body connection is most apparent in the retina,
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: an extension of the brain.
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Don't forget that nerves by two.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Distinct blood supplies the retin is one of the most
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: metabolically active tissues in the body. Blood, vessels, and nerves
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: are visible through your retina, which is why eye exams
• 3:47
  Speaker 2: can help detect signs of certain health conditions. In particular,
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: dilated eye exams gives a panoramic view of the retina.
• 3:56
  Speaker 2: For example, your eye doctor can observe high pretension in
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: real time. With high blood pressure. There are changes that
• 4:02
  Speaker 2: occur in the vascular that we're not seeing happen because
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: we see the bare arteries in the veins in the eyes.
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: We can't see that.
• 4:10
  Speaker 2: Doctor Andrew Iwalk, ophthalmologist and executive director of the glau
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: Coma Center of Frisco. What your doctor might observe is
• 4:18
  Speaker 2: narrowing of the retinal arteries, thickening of the vessel walls,
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: retinal bleeding reduce blood flow, and in severe cases, swelling
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: of the optic nerve. The condition is called hypertensive retinopathy.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: But the findings don't just affect the eyes. How these
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: work operate is a clue to how your body wide
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: vessels are performing. Symptoms in the retina mean you are
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: at a risk of a stroke, cart disease, or kidney disease.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Besides looking in your eyes to observe the retina. The
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: doctors often use the fundus photography, which captures high resolution
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: images at the back of your eye, including the retina,
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: optic nerve, and macula. In the future, fundas photography could
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: be used by non ophthalmologists as a screening tool for
• 5:03
  Speaker 2: systemic disease. Doctors can observe swelling in the optic nerve,
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: which is caused by intracranial pressure resulting from conditions.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: Such as brain bleed, brain tumors.
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: Low sodium levels, or a buildup of toxins in your
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: blood from decreased kidney function. How the eyes follow a
• 5:19
  Speaker 2: moving object, perceive depth and focus can also offer abundant information.
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: Doctor Bryce Applebomb and optometrist, said that eye tracking can
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: assess how well somebody pays attention and possesses what they see,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: which may aid in diagnosing neurological diseases like Alzheimer's and Parkinson's.
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: A great degree of ophthalmology training is aimed at the
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: interactions among the eye, brain, and the rest.
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: Of the body.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: Good news for people who haven't seen their primary doctor
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: in years but never skip an annual eye exam. In
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: many cases, eye doctor observations. Eye tests in your health
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: history can indicate problems beyond your eyes. For many people,
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: in eye exam is where diabetes is first identified. The
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: organization the American Optumo Optometric Association reported that eye doctors
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: were the first to identify more than three hundred one
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: thousand patients who had diabetes related eye manifestations and didn't
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: know they were pre diabetic or diabetic. Fluctuating glucose levels
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: can change the curve in the shape of the lens,
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: causing blurred vision to persist until blood sugar stabilizes.
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: Left unmanaged, high.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Blood sugar causes fluids to leak, vessels to swell and
• 6:34
  Speaker 2: abnormal new vessels to form in the eye, which can
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: cause damage.
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: That leads to vision loss and blindness.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: There are two hundred and seventy three diseases with signs
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: that can appear during an eye exam, including autoimmune and
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: thyroid disease. Eye doctors can sometimes identify signs of thyroid
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: eye disease. A slit layup examination can reveal eye change
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: is associated with certain sexually transmitted infections. Often problems are
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: detected by chance during a regular eye exam, rather than
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: due to visual or other symptoms. That was the case
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: for Ethan, a mom who recently agreed to fund his photography,
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: during a checkup a decade ago. We've all been allowsy
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: vision in our family, but there was nothing I was
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: concerned about at the age of fourteen. Didn't think I
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: needed to do that, said Jenny Starkey. The test showed
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: Ethan's optic nerve was swollen, and it was diagnosed with
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: a pseudo tumor, a non cancerous condition that can be dangerous.
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: It explained the headaches he'd been having, but he dismissed
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: because the whole family has history of migraines. Starkey said.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: After treatment, Ethan's pressure resolved. We got lucky and it
• 7:50
  Speaker 2: wasn't a big issue. Starkey said Ethan's situation illustrates the
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: importance of regular eye exams. According to American Academy of Ophthalmology,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: those who have vision problems should see an optometrist or
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: an ophthalmologist at least once a year. Children should see
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: you should see an optometrist.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Or ophthalmologists if they fail as screening.
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: Children should be screened at six months between the ages
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: of three and five before starting school. There's just so
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: much more division than just seeing in sight.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: I apologize for the cough. That's what I'm dealing with. Well,
• 8:31
