Hi there & welcome to drnataliechai! As you guessed my name is Natalie Chai, and I'm an actively practicing board certified optometrist bringing you optometry at a different angle. After practicing for a handful of years, I slowly transitioned my clinical training and passion to niches that have been under-represented and under-used. These specialties are:
But wait - that's only THREE topics! You may be wondering how much information can there be? I encourage you to give this channel the chance to show you and hopefully you'll be surprised. My goal is to organize the science so it's relatable, show how it is clinically applied, and how optometrists can help you outside of "which is better .. one or two?"
Make sure to subscribe/follow and I'll see you soon!
If acetylcholine works with the parasympathetic nervous system, how come when sympathetic neural activty increases, acetylcholine leaks from the neuromuscular junction?
If i will be using these lenses and then getting the number of my eye checked through machine. Will it be shown temporarily low. Will the machine show 0 refractive error if i have worn these lenses a night back in case of -2.5 cyl power
Amazing and detailed information, thank you! I'm currently testing RGP lenses and while I'm still getting used to it, I'm already sold. My optometrist recommended them for my astigmatism and because they allow for more oxygen in the long term.
So if I have a corneal scar in the middle of my pupil what would be the best recommendation? It’s been this way for about 4 years now they said a hard contact lense I went in and fit it for my right eye and I seen 20/20 better then my left and I wear glasses I jus don’t know wat to do
can you suggest clinic and provide this service in MN? my right eye is 20-200, dry eye and some issues on surface flatness of corneal, I am 79 years man with excellent health. thank you for your advise.
QUESTIONS Disease or syndrome , it is a genetic tendency anyone with larger than normal eye balls and certain genetic configurations has a tendency to myopia , growth factors ie elongation of eye ball , the disease aetiology is ol BUT yes it is really disastrous , I have it leaidn to glaucoma , cataracts. I am seeking treament with atropine for myopia as an adult yet NICE guidelines make it off label do you feel it is beneficial for adults , I will keep trying . Catarcts the shearing force of elongated eye ball is greater making the proteins crosslink easier . There are a lot of treatments being prevented because of profiteering in plastic IOL , Ledinbio endinborugh start bup and at least 20 formulas plant extracs and other solutions which could reverse cataracts and not getting to clinical trial in humans . Atropine for adult myopes Y/N ?
MI PIACE ASCOLTARE TUTTO E TUTTI I CONSIGLI MA COME MAI QUESTA DOTTORESSA PORTA GLI OCCHIALI E NON HA FATTO NULLA DI TUTTO CIÒ X SE STESSA DATO CHE SI TROVA DI MESTIERE ED È NELL' AMBIENTE OCULISTICO NIN VI SEMBRA STRANO
Why would hybrid lenses not always be a better option than RGP? I have ultrahealths on order and am a first time contact wearers for KC. What are some downsides or complications of hybrids? Thank you.
Bhai ,kya sach me miyosmart glasses myopia ko control kar sakte hai, please reply, Mera beta 12 saal ka hai usko -6 no hai , kya ye glasses help karenge
Hi Dr Natalie thanks for the informative vdo. The lens are pretty expensive. I would like to my child to use it but i wonder when we can stop and change to normal lens and will there be a rebound? How about Stellest? Are they good or better?
What is couse MGD gland looses..i read any comments MGD gland looses reson excessive screen time 8-9 hours this is true or not..I am anxiety patient please reply me sir thanks
Ok first , very informative video and also I just want to point out you look amazing!! I’m really looking forward to try rgp lenses and worried that my optometrist is not to interested into giving me a good fiting appointment and he will try to convince me that rgp lenses are not for me. They already told me that I will change my mind after a few minutes wearing the lenses in the fitting kit they have the first minute. I’ve never been to a fitting and don’t know what to expect from my professional. Do you have any recommendations or tips I should say or do?
Hi Doctor, thanks for your video, that's very informative. I would like to ask about my fitting of my new RGP lenses. Every time when I blink, the vision becomes blurry by the tears, it becomes clear after a while. And this vision movement gives me a feeling of dizzy and I am not having a constant clear vision when i read. I thought probably there is need for change of something like basic curve to improve this blurry vision issue. But my optician checked the fitting of this lenses and said they are perfectly fitting with my eyes. She asked me to wear some more time to see if it gets better. But i am really not sure if this blurry issue will get better by itself if I wear it more time? Is it really an adaption issue or fitting issue? I would really appreciate if you can tell me about it. Thank you!
