Can your eyesight actually improve?

In this fascinating conversation, Dr. Sam Berne shares why vision is about far more than reading the eye chart. Drawing on over 45 years of clinical experience, he explains the difference between eyesight and vision, how the brain and body influence perception, and why stress, posture, movement, nutrition, trauma, and the nervous system all play a role in how we see.

Topics include:

• The difference between traditional and holistic eye care

• Dr. Sam’s personal journey from severe nearsightedness to 20/20 vision

• Why glasses may not always address the underlying cause of blurry vision

• Vision therapy and neuroplasticity

• Birth, development, and how vision begins in infancy

• The connection between posture, movement, and eyesight

• Craniosacral therapy and visual function

• Nutrition, inflammation, liver health, and eye wellness

• Cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and natural strategies that may support healthy vision*
