Summary
In this podcast, I speak with Dr. Mahipal about eye health in the digital age, why screen time increases myopia, how dry eyes and blue light cause eye strain, and the silent risks of glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, and cataracts. We break down simple habits like the 20–20–20 rule, UV protection, and safe use of eye drops. We also cover modern cataract surgery, LASIK/SMILE options, and contact lens safety. So you can protect your vision with science-backed clarity.
