  • In this episode I explore the fascinating question of whether eye color can be linked to specific diseases. I dive into pigmentary glaucoma, an eye condition most commonly seen in individuals with brown eyes, and explains how certain eye colors can increase the risk of other conditions. The episode also recounts my "eye pilgrimage" to see Dallas's giant eyeball sculpture, discusses creative costumes worn by fans at live shows, and answers questions from the YouTube comments. Takeaways: Eye Color and Disease Risk: Dr. Flannery shares how eye color can influence the likelihood of developing certain eye diseases, such as pigmentary glaucoma in brown-eyed individuals. Understanding Pigmentary Glaucoma: He explains how this condition occurs when pigment from the iris clogs the eye’s drainage system, leading to increased pressure and potential vision loss. A Unique Eye Pilgrimage: Dr. Flannery recounts his visit to the giant eyeball sculpture in Dallas and why it holds special significance for ophthalmologists and eye enthusiasts. Engagement with Fans: The episode highlights the dedication of fans who attended his Texas shows wearing themed costumes and props, including recreations of Tabitha, the homemade microscope. Viewer Questions and Interactive Learning: Dr. Flannery addresses insightful viewer questions, like whether specific eye colors are linked to particular diseases, providing valuable educational content. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!
