Fix Screen Fatigue and ADHD Symptoms with Eye Training

What if your brain fog, ADHD symptoms, or vision decline weren’t inevitable—but reversible with the right kind of eye-brain training?

In this episode of A Wilder Life, Eric discusses how modern screen use, sedentary lifestyles, and even childhood education systems are damaging our vision—and how that damage affects mental clarity, emotional regulation, and long-term health. Neuro-optometrist Dr. Bryce Appelbaum reveals why 20/20 vision isn’t the real goal, and how retraining the way we see the world can radically improve focus, performance, and quality of life.

Key Takeaways:

→ Vision is more than seeing clearly—it's about how the brain processes and responds to the world.

→ Most people suffer from avoidable or reversible functional vision issues due to modern lifestyles.

→ “Eye push-ups” and vision training can delay or reverse the need for reading glasses.

→ Kids are often misdiagnosed with ADHD or dyslexia when the root issue is visual processing.

→ Expanding peripheral awareness reduces stress and enhances performance in sports, speaking, and daily life.

Quotes from Dr. Bryce Appelbaum:

● “When vision gets locked up, so too does thinking and behavior.”

● “So much of what we label as learning or attention disorders are actually hidden vision problems.”

● “Vision is the dominant sense for guiding performance, and we’re just starting to understand how to train it.”
