The Eyes are the Windows to the Soul | Dr. Harbir Sian | TEDxGrandviewHeights

We’ve all heard that our eyes are the windows to our soul. But, it may be more accurate to say that our eyes are the windows to our health.
In this passionate and poetic talk, Dr. Harbir Sian explains how undiagnosed systemic conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and even brain tumours can be discovered within these one inch orbs inside our heads - and how regular eye exams can not only preserve your vision but possibly even save your life.
Dr. Harbir Sian is an award-winning optometrist whose passion lies in education and his profession. Harbir studied Kinesiology and attained his Bachelor of Applied Science degree at Simon Fraser University. He then moved to Boston to study at the New England College of Optometry and graduated with a Doctor of Optometry degree in 2010.
Dr. Sian traveled to South America and the Middle East to perform eye exams in underdeveloped areas and has been awarded Young Optometrist of the Year by the BC Doctors of Optometry. He has written many blogs, started multiple video series including For Your Eyes Only with and Chiasma, and launched The 20/20 Podcast. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
