Vision is not your eyes… it’s your brain

[00:00:00]Let's expand on that. Most people think of eye health as completely separate from our brain, but it's not. What do you mean by that? Vision is a direct reflection of brain function. So, I think there's a clear distinction we we really should make out of the gate here between eyesight and vision so people can understand this a little bit better.

[00:00:17]When we talk about vision, most people think about sight. And so, if you look at eyesight as really the ability to see, it's how we focus light clearly.

[00:00:24]That's letters on the letter chart and eye exam, street signs when you're driving, for a child what the teacher writes on the board in the classroom.

[00:00:30]Eyesight is glasses or contacts. But, when we're talking about vision, vision is how our brain filters, organizes, stores, processes all the input coming in through our eyes, knows what to do with it, how to derive meaning, and then direct the appropriate action. So, eyesight is glasses, it's a symptom.

[00:00:45]Vision is brain, and vision problems are brain problems. And just like we can teach our brain how to do pretty much anything that we want to with the right motivation, compliance, and the right work, same holds true with vision and how our eyes work as a team and track and focus and process information. And I know I'm biased, but vision is heavily responsible for so much of our processing, our happiness, our performance, our productivity, our energy, our focus. And a lot of people don't even have a file on on what that even looks like.
