High Myopia: Why Nearsightedness Can Threaten Your Retina

High myopia is more than strong glasses — it stretches and thins the retina, increasing lifetime risk of retinal tears, detachment, and myopic macular degeneration. Dr. Kashav Narayan explains how detailed imaging and dilated exams let specialists spot thinning and weak spots early, when treatment is most effective. Regular monitoring and prompt attention to sudden flashes, new floaters, or a dark curtain in your vision can protect sight. With proactive care, many people with high myopia maintain excellent vision for life. **** 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗴: Watch the video version of this podcast: https://youtu.be/MtoilSK8ZBM [https://youtu.be/MtoilSK8ZBM] **** 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗿.

What Your Eyes Say About Your Heart, Brain & Blood Pressure | Dr. Keshav Narain

Heavy Eyes After a Full Night's Sleep? The Hidden Cause You Need to Know

If your eyes feel heavy or achy even after a full night’s sleep, this episode explains a less obvious cause: thyroid eye disease (TED). Dr. Keshav Narain of South Bay Retina describes how autoimmune inflammation behind the eye can raise pressure and cause heaviness, dryness, puffy eyelids, or mild light sensitivity — sometimes before bulging or vision changes. TED can occur even when thyroid tests seem normal, and smoking can make it worse. Early recognition and specialist evaluation can slow progression and protect vision. Learn the symptoms to watch for and when to seek care. **** 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹 𝗯𝗹𝗼𝗴: https://www.southbayretina.com/post/why-your-eyes-feel-heavy-even-when-you-re-rested-exploring-subtle-ted-fatigue-symptoms [https://www.southbayretina.com/post/why-your-eyes-feel-heavy-even-when-you-re-rested-exploring-subtle-ted-fatigue-symptoms]   Watch the video version of this podcast: https://youtu.be/ethvwZ7ujSk [https://youtu.be/ethvwZ7ujSk]   **** 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗿.
