Takeaways Children have no context on why they're being patched. Patching can feel like a punishment to children. Long periods of patching may not be effective. Patching can add trauma and stress to children. Mechanical symptom management does not address underlying issues. Understanding eye coordination is crucial for effective treatment. Emotional support is essential during treatment. Parents should be educated about the process. Alternative approaches may be more beneficial. The focus should be on holistic treatment rather than just symptoms. Sound bites "Patching becomes like a punishment." "It adds more trauma and stress." "It has nothing to do with how to use your eyes together." Chapters 00:00 Understanding the Impact of Patching on Children 00:17 The Limitations of Mechanical Symptom Management Sam Berne (00:03.732) Okay, well, my first question is, how did you find me? Online, honestly, yes. Looking at lot of alternative methods for my daughter, and I found you. And what was it that resonated with you, with me? Sam Berne (00:29.454) Um, mostly, but I mean, there was a few things. First, I noticed you didn't wear glasses. So I thought that was, or at least most of your videos. So I thought that was already something that was different. Sam Berne (00:45.454) Yeah, you just had alternatives. And even the way you talk about some people like trying to I think you'd mentioned that prescriptions can, you know, be like a drug, and you can lean off of it. Yes. And I really like that idea. Because I think sometimes we jump a little bit too quick to to glasses. And sometimes, yeah, they just need more and more. Okay. Yeah. So What I read about your history is that in your daughter, you first noticed the eye turning at about 10 months. Is that right? And when did you actually either go to your pediatrician or ophthalmologist to have it checked out? Yeah. So I think it was like her one year appointment that the doctor, I had mentioned it and then he had said to go to an ophthalmologist. went there. It was so interesting. She had said that she didn't notice any eye turn, which is fine because it doesn't happen that often. So she didn't notice it in the appointment. she said that she's like, I don't know.

([Dr. Sam Berne Professional Focus Dr. Berne’s approach goes beyond traditional eye exams.

He explains the importance of the macula, the implications of bleeding, and the role of nutrition in maintaining eye health. Dr. Berne emphasizes the need for a holistic approach, including dietary changes and potential treatments, to improve retinal health and manage conditions like macular degeneration. Takeaways The macula is crucial for detail and color vision. Macula bleed can lead to serious complications if untreated. Angiogenesis occurs when the macula is starved for nutrients. Nutrition plays a significant role in eye health. Omega-3 fatty acids are essential for retinal health. Monitoring glucose levels is important for eye conditions. A ketogenic diet may benefit those with macular issues. Antioxidants like saffron and curcumin support eye health. Blue light exposure can harm the retina. Avoiding progressive lenses can help with macular problems. Sound bites "The macula is bleeding." "Check your glucose levels." "I wish you the very best." Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Setting the Scene 00:29 Understanding Macula Bleed and Its Implications 02:51 The Importance of Nutrition for Eye Health 04:30 Systemic and Metabolic Factors Affecting Macular Health 06:55 Practical Tips for Managing Macular Health Keep Up with Dr. Sam Website: https://www.drsamberne.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SamBerneOD/?fref=ts Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/samberneod/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/drsamberne LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drsamberne/ Dr. Sam Berne has been in private practice in New Mexico for over 25 years and where he works with patients to improve their vision and overall wellness through holistic methods. He holds a Bachelor of Science from Pennsylvania State University, Doctor of Optometry from Pennsylvania College, and did his postdoctoral work at the Gesell Institute in collaboration with Yale University. He has been awarded The Special Awards for Service from the Behavioral Optometrists in Mexico for his innovative and holistic work with children. His protocols take a proactive, rather than reactive, approach to health and wellness. He understands and treats the body as one integrated system rather than a collection of independent organs in order to identify and address the root causes of disease. His whole health protocols improve vision and wellness by healing the mind-body-spirit through nutritional protocols, vision therapy, and self-care techniques. This views each person as genetically and biochemically unique and enables the individual to make lifelong improvements to their well-being.
