In this episode of Better with Dr. Rock, Dr. Matthew Kettman talks with optometrist Dr. Lucas Cook about the importance of eye health at every stage of life. Dr. Cook shares how his own childhood eye surgeries sparked his passion for optometry and led him to a fulfilling career in the field.
They discuss the value of early eye exams, common conditions like pink eye, and why over-the-counter drops aren’t always the best fix. The episode also covers serious concerns like cataracts, glaucoma, and sudden vision loss—and what to do if they strike.
Dr. Cook wraps up with a message about giving your all and staying proactive with your health. Whether you're dealing with eye issues or just looking to stay ahead, this episode is full of helpful takeaways.
