What you’ll learn in this video:
✅ Why eye flashes happen as the vitreous gel changes with age
✅ The role of Posterior Vitreous Detachment (PVD) in causing flashes
✅ When flashes are harmless vs. when they may signal a retinal tear or detachment
✅ Key vision warning signs you should never ignore Many flashes are harmless, but some can mean urgent retinal problems.

What if glaucoma could be detected before vision loss begins? For decades, eye doctors waited until damage was already visible. But with new technology, we can spot problems earlier—before it’s too late.
 
In this video, Dr. Keshav Narain, board-certified ophthalmologist and founder of South Bay Retina, explains how advanced electrophysiology testing—Visual Evoked Potential (VEP) and Electroretinography (ERG)—is transforming glaucoma care.
 
Discover how functional eye tests can reveal early neurological changes long before traditional scans show damage.
 
What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✅Why eye pressure (IOP) alone isn’t enough to diagnose glaucoma
✅How VEP & ERG detect disease earlier than OCT or visual fields
✅Real patient case studies showing the power of functional testing
✅How your eye health reflects brain and nervous system function
✅Why early intervention can save vision and improve neurological outcomes**** 𝗦𝘁𝗮𝘆 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗗𝗿.

Why Can’t You Sleep After Looking at Your Phone? The Science of Blue Light & Your Eyes
Did you know your eyes have a third type of photoreceptor that doesn’t even help you see—but instead controls your sleep and body clock?
 
In this video, Dr. Keshav Narain, board-certified ophthalmologist and founder of South Bay Retina, explains how intrinsically photosensitive retinal ganglion cells (ipRGCs) work, why they react strongly to blue light, and how nighttime screen use may be silently sabotaging your health.
What You’ll Learn:
✅ The discovery of ipRGCs and how they differ from rods and cones✅ Why blue light exposure at night suppresses melatonin and delays sleep✅ The hidden health risks of long-term circadian disruption (metabolism, heart health, mood, cancer risk)✅ Simple steps to protect your eyes and restore healthy sleep cycles
 
Protecting your circadian rhythm isn’t just about sleep—it’s about safeguarding your long-term vision and overall health.

Why is glaucoma still causing blindness—even when eye pressure looks normal?For decades, treatment has focused on lowering intraocular pressure (IOP). But as science advances, we now know glaucoma is about much more than pressure alone.
In this video, Dr. Keshav Narain, board-certified ophthalmologist and founder of South Bay Retina, explains how the future of glaucoma care is shifting toward protecting the optic nerve itself. He discusses innovative tools like electrophysiology, microperimetry, and selective laser trabeculoplasty (SLT) that are helping patients preserve sight earlier and more effectively.
What You’ll Learn:
✅ Why glaucoma can progress even with “normal” eye pressure✅ How new technologies reveal damage before it shows up on standard tests✅ The role of SLT as a pressure-independent treatment option✅ Why protecting the optic nerve—not just lowering pressure—is key to preventing blindness
 
Glaucoma doesn’t have to steal your vision.
Understanding new approaches can help you take action before it’s too late.
