  Eye Health and Brain Disease: What the Science Shows - Part 1 07.09.2026 30мин

  The eye is the only place in the human body where brain tissue is directly visible and that makes it one of the most powerful tools in early neurological disease detection. In Part 1 of this conversation, Dr. Kerry Gelb sits down with Dr. Alaina Short, an optometric physician specializing in the connection between vision and neurodegenerative disease, to explore how subtle changes in the eye can reveal early signs of Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease long before other symptoms appear. Dr. Short walks through the five early warning signs of Alzheimer's, explains how vision changes differ from simply needing glasses, and discusses why the collaboration between optometry and neurology is becoming increasingly important for patient care. A foundational episode for anyone interested in brain health and preventive medicine. 🔔 Subscribe to Open Your Eyes with Dr. Kerry Gelb for weekly episodes on longevity, eye health, and whole body wellness.
