24. Dry Eyes, headache and hypermobility - with Optometrist, Victor El Khoury
2w ago00:38:25Tap to summarizeEver feel like your eyes are exhausted by 3 PM, or suffer from mysterious end-of-day headaches? In this episode, Dr. Ashton Wilson sits down with Newport optometrist and university lecturer Victor El-Khoury to unpack the surprising connection between eye health, chronic inflammation, and connective tissue disorders like Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD). We dive deep into why "dry eye" is actually a systemic inflammatory issue, why eye drops are often just a band-aid solution, and how hidden eye muscle fatigue can directly trigger neck pain, TMJ issues, and migraines. What we discuss in this episode: The Reality of Dry Eyes: Why 80% of cases are actually Meibomian Gland Dysfunction (MGD) and why "watery eyes" are a classic sign of inflammation. The "Eye Gym" Analogy: How computer screens put our eyes through a grueling 12-hour workout, and how specialized lenses can stop a visual system crash. The Hypermobility & Collagen Connection: How hypermobility impacts the eye's delicate tracking muscles, leading to Binocular Vision Dysfunction (BVD). Audience Q&A: Vic breaks down the physiology of the 20-20-20 rule, how to manage eye flares if you have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), and the true "Toyota of eye drops." Connect with our Guest: Visit Victor El-Khoury at iLab Newport.
