Visionary Perspectives: The Future of Optometry, Eye Health, and Nutrition
In this episode of Eye Give a Damn, Dr. Allen is joined by Dr. Neal Troyer — optometrist, educator, and co-founder of the Eyecare Republic — for a powerful conversation about the future of eye care and the deeper connections between vision, nutrition, and wellness.
They discuss why Dr. Troyer helped launch a new independent ECP alliance and the challenges facing traditional optometry in the age of tech and telehealth.
With a shared passion for how lifestyle impacts eye health, Dr. Allen and Dr. Troyer also dig into the science behind nutrition and its role in preventing conditions like macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and glaucoma. They also explore the potential benefits (and limitations) of intermittent fasting, and what ODs can do to better educate patients about dietary choices that protect their vision.
