Neuro-Optometrist: Your Eyes Are Sabotaging Your Performance and You Have No Idea | Dr. Bryce AppelbaumYour Eyes Are Sabotaging Your Performance and You Have No Idea | Ep. 326 with Dr. Bryce Apbaum

Episode notes

Daniel Robbins interviews Dr. Bryce Appelbaum about why training the eye brain connection can be one of the biggest performance upgrades available and why vision decline with age does not have to be inevitable. They discuss functional vision problems that often go undetected, how screen habits are creating widespread strain and fatigue, and what people can do right now to improve clarity, stamina, and focus. Key Discussion Points Dr. Bryce explains the difference between reactive eye care and proactive vision performance training, emphasizing that the brain is attached to the eyes and must be trained as a system. He challenges the belief that reading glasses are unavoidable in your forties and shares a simple “eye pushups” near far focusing drill to strengthen the focusing system over time. The conversation explores how symptoms labeled as ADHD or dyslexia can overlap with treatable functional vision issues, especially when tracking, focusing, and processing are inefficient. Dr. Bryce breaks down screen time habits, the 20 20 20 rule, and why blue light is not the enemy but artificial blue light late at night can disrupt sleep and recovery.
