Скачать или смотреть Are My Arms Too Short or Is This Presbyopia? | Knock Knock Eye

Look, I knew getting older would mess with my joints and metabolism—but no one warned me that my arms would become too short to read a menu. In this solo episode, I talk about the aging process that ruins your ability to focus on near objects—presbyopia—and why it’s just part of the over-40 starter pack.

But that's not all. I’ve got thoughts about chiropractors adjusting newborns (yes, really), dry eye fixes that actually work, and whether or not you can legally use your FSA to buy laser vision. Spoiler: probably not. Come for the eye care breakdowns, stay for the spicy takes on spine snappery and TikTok pseudoscience.

Takeaways:

Presbyopia 101: Your eyes will betray you after 40. It’s called physics. It’s called biology. It’s called reading glasses.

Chiropractors & Kids: There’s zero justification for adjusting newborns. And yes, we’re talking about that video.

Dry Eye Fixes: Not all TikTok hacks are bogus, but most of them are. Here’s what actually works.

FSA Deep Dive: What can you actually use it for? And is LASIK even covered?

When Medical Myths Go Viral: From chiropractic cradle cracking to miracle eye cures, we’re swatting down the nonsense.
