Eyes On - The Silent Epidemic No One Sees Coming: How Overstimulation Is Destroying Our Eyes & Brains

If you feel fried, unfocused, or unmotivated, there's a reason — and it has nothing to do with laziness.

In this eye-opening episode of the Uncover Your Eyes podcast, Dr. Meenal Agarwal breaks down the real cause: eye–brain overstimulation.

Our visual system was never designed for constant scrolling, notifications, and near-work. The result? A brain stuck in micro-stimulation loops, a nervous system in threat mode, and eyes that never truly rest.

🎯 You'll uncover:

✅ How central vision, rods & cones, and the visual cortex actually work

✅ Why overstimulation mimics addiction pathways

✅ What triggers the brain's threat response

✅ How screen-driven burnout harms mental & physical health

✅ Simple tools to reset your eyes, brain, and nervous system today

This is essential listening for anyone in healthcare, wellness, mental health, self-advocacy, or anyone who wants to protect their brain and vision in a screen-heavy world.

At Uncover Your Eyes, Dr. Meenal Agarwal brings powerful conversations on healthcare, mental health, wellness, and self-advocacy, helping you see the hidden truths that matter most for living a healthier, more connected life.
