OLLI at UNCA: Macular Degeneration & the Blue Light Danger

Age Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is the leading cause of vision loss in the US. With an estimated 11 million individuals in the US suffering from AMD, a figure that is expected to grow to 22 million by 2050, we are facing a coming epidemic of AMD. In addition to the increase in our aging population, we are using our eyes like never before in history. Join Dr. Kim Walters, owner of Optix Eye Care, as she discusses AMD, and our newest threat to our health, blue light which is emitted in high concentration from our smartphones, tablets, computers, TVs, fluorescent lights, and LED lighting. With 18 years of experience practicing optometry in Weaverville, NC, Dr. Walters is an expert on the prevention, early detection and management of ocular disease.

YMCA Lunch & Learn: Vision is More than 20/20

Vision is the most powerful, as well as the best way that we have of interacting with the world, and it is so much more involved than just whether we see “clearly” or not. In today’s world, we are using our visual system in a manner far removed from that of our ancestors. These unique stresses require our visual system to work overtime to keep up with the demand. This can also have a dramatic impact on how a child is performing in school, as well as relate to some of the most common symptoms after a concussion or traumatic brain injury. Join Dr. Nathan Davis from Optix Eyecare as he discusses the visual system and what we can do to improve performance and quality of life.
