Disclosure: I was focusing on a UFO in order to have my brain examined.

Disclosure 2 (private): aah, you'll hear it by yourself.

• how neuro-ophthalmology merges ophthalmology and neurology to attend diseases that manifest in the eye
• neuroplasticity or brain plasticity and if the brain stops learning
• strabismus or crossed eye
• amblyopia or lazy eye and a miracle of the brain
• multiple sclerosis

and

how machine learning and AI can speed up the work of an eye doctor

and the future of diagnosing brain diseases that lies in the eyes

My guest is Dr. Mathias Abegg, Medical Director and the visionary behind machineMD, is a neuro-opthalmologist, connecting neurology and ophthalmology.
