Dr. Smith, can you tell us about your experience and what inspired you to create this course? GUEST: Absolutely, I've spent over two decades researching the link between nutrition and eye health.

There's growing interest in preventive healthcare, and patients are increasingly seeking holistic approaches to managing age-related eye conditions. By focusing on nutrition, we can offer personalized dietary plans that promote optimal eye health. HOST: That sounds like a proactive approach. What challenges have you faced in the field or while teaching this subject? GUEST: One challenge is the abundance of misinformation about nutrition and eye health. Another is helping students grasp the complexities of ocular nutrition and dietary supplements.

Where do you see the future of this area or industry? GUEST: I believe we'll continue to see increased demand for professionals who understand the connection between nutrition and eye health.
