Dr. Grossman explains that even moderate activities like walking or swimming can help prevent retinal vein occlusions and other vision issues. He highlights various forms of exercise, such as rebounding, tai chi, and yoga, which enhance circulation and flexibility. Eye exercises are also recommended to maintain the flexibility of eye muscles.

The podcast also touches on the connection between physical exercise and reduced risks of chronic illnesses like heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's. Dr. Grossman cites studies showing that regular exercise, even starting in middle age, can significantly lower the risk of dementia and improve memory.

Dr. Grossman concludes by urging listeners to incorporate some form of physical activity into their daily routine to preserve vision and overall health.

Dr. Grossman explains that ERM comprises various cell types, including glial cells, retinal pigment epithelial cells, macrophages, and fibrocytes. The degree of visual distortion varies depending on the amount and location of the pucker, which can be assessed using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT). Although ERM typically affects central vision and not peripheral vision, it is often asymptomatic and progresses slowly. The condition is more common in elderly individuals and is associated with other eye issues such as retinal detachment and diabetic retinopathy.

Dr. Grossman suggests that inflammation may play a significant role in the development of ERM, possibly exacerbated by COVID-19 or its vaccine. He recommends an anti-inflammatory diet and supplements like Zyflamend, serrapeptase, and his own Meso Plus formula, which contains carotenoids to support macular health. While traditional medicine may suggest peeling off the scar tissue, Dr. Grossman advocates for natural approaches and consulting a retinal specialist for further advice.
