Show Notes

Guest: Dr. Chantal Cousineau-Krieger, Ophthalmologist, National Eye Institute
 
️ May is Healthy Vision Month, and Matt McClure sits down with Dr. Chantal Cousineau-Krieger, an ophthalmologist with the National Eye Institute, to explore how your eye health connects to your overall wellness—especially as you age.
We discuss:
  • How conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure impact your vision
  • The 20-20-20 rule to reduce screen strain
  • What foods support healthy eyes
  • The surprising connection between exercise and eye health
  • When and how often you should get a complete eye exam
  • Why early detection is critical—even if you feel fine
  • What those of us over 40 () need to keep in mind after LASIK or other vision corrections
Whether you’ve been putting off that eye exam or are looking for ways to maintain clear vision into retirement, this episode is a must-listen.
