The Science of Vision, Eye Health & Seeing Better

June 14, 2021 · Huberman Lab · Read the original ↗

Neuroscientist Andrew Huberman's deep-dive episode on how vision, light, and viewing distance drive eye health and brain state — panoramic vision, daylight, and distance viewing as trainable inputs. It reached an audience of millions on a chiropractic-adjacent topic, from a neuroscience chair.

The Look Up read
The vision conversation is being led by whoever shows up with credentials and consistency. The wide-view half of the Look Up practice is right there in his science.
The Look Up View: AGREE
The Look Up view
No new claim to grade — a synthesis, and a sound one: daylight, distance, and panoramic vision are trainable inputs, and every one of them points the eyes up and out.
●●●  Reference — no causal claim · For: Adults
☀ Use it — Step outside in the morning and take in the wide view for a minute before the first screen. The episode's simplest usable idea is also the book's: eyes up changes state.
