In Episode 5 of The Dr Hilary Show, brought to you by Healthspan (https://www.healthspan.co.uk/) we are discussing eye care with Denise Voon, from the College of Optometrists and eye health expert Ros Mussa.

This episode emphasises the importance of regular eye exams to prevent issues like glaucoma and dry eye syndrome, which often go unnoticed until it's too late. Both professionals stress the importance of early intervention through regular eye exams, warm compresses, artificial tears, and maintaining eye hygiene. This can help manage conditions like dry eye and prevent more severe problems progressing.

Plus, special guest Christine Lampard discusses how she maintains her health amidst the challenges of a busy life. She shares that she tries to stay active, eat well, and live in moderation without being too rigid, and how prioritising a work life balance is important.

We also touch on broader health issues like alcohol consumption, obesity, and allergies, highlighting how small changes can improve overall health.
