How often do we take our eyesight for granted? On this episode of It’s a Matter of Your Health, host Dr. Veita Bland welcomes renowned ophthalmologist Dr. Roy Whitaker Jr. for an eye-opening conversation about glaucoma, aging eyes, and protecting your vision for life.
Dr. Whitaker explains why glaucoma is called the “silent thief of sight,” the warning signs people should never ignore, and why African Americans face higher risks of blindness from the disease. The discussion also covers eye exams for children and adults, cataracts, dry eyes, diabetes, hypertension, nutrition, sunglasses, and the latest treatments helping preserve sight today.
This informative episode is a reminder that protecting your vision starts with prevention, awareness, and regular eye care.
