In this episode, host Paul consults an AI for science-based guidance on maintaining and protecting eyesight, especially for those noticing a decline due to age or increased computer use. The discussion covers common questions people have as they experience changes in their vision, including whether eyesight loss is reversible and what prevention strategies are supported by scientific evidence.

The AI clarifies that while age-related vision decline such as presbyopia is a natural process stemming from the stiffening of the eye's lens, there is little evidence supporting the reversal of such changes through exercises or alternative methods. However, proactive steps can help reduce daily eye strain and stall worsening symptoms. Key advice includes using the 20-20-20 rule (looking 20 feet away every 20 minutes for 20 seconds), adjusting screen brightness, eating a diet rich in lutein and omega-3s, wearing UV-protective sunglasses, and practicing good screen habits.

While convenient myths like 'eye yoga' or pinhole glasses exist, the emphasis remains on proven preventative measures, regular eye exams, and symptom management. Anyone concerned with digital eye strain or age-related changes will gain clear, actionable tips from this focused, science-oriented conversation.
