Have you ever stopped to consider the health of your eyes? Well, kick back and join us on the Jazzy Eyes Podcast, where our host Dr. Thuy Nguyen sets the stage for an eye-opening conversation about cataracts. We illuminate the different types of cataracts, delve into their various causes and examine the influence of lifestyle and certain medications. Dr. Nguyen details how antipsychotics, heart medications, and steroids, often prescribed for autoimmune diseases, can contribute to early onset cataracts - it's a hidden side effect that's seldom discussed.
Co-host Jeremy Wolf also shares a heartfelt story about his friend's journey from being weighed down by a myriad of prescribed medications to finding healing in plant-based medicine. It's a personal anecdote that underscores the power of holistic health approaches. That being said, Dr. Nguyen clarifies that despite the potential for drugs to induce cataracts, it's crucial to remember that optometrists don't advise patients to stop their prescribed medications. Cataract surgery is a viable treatment option. So pop in those headphones and join us to gain a better understanding of the complexities of cataract causes and treatments, and the impacts of various medications and lifestyle choices on your eye health.
