And just show trophies because the things my ears were not reached with my cell phone. But I'm glad they recorded this part of it here. Yeah. And it's really something and you know, he's an interesting guy because he came from Belarus, which is the old Soviet Union. I think he came for the Jews for bread program. Seriously. Yeah, we're offering Russia grain and they released Jews out of the Soviet Jesus Christ. You know, that was really fucked up. Yeah, let me tell you something. I'm not gonna get into politics. Because because it sucks. Yeah, he came over was third. You know, all. All the Jews came over as immigrants was supposed to do great in school. That was the big stereotype. Right? That was your way out of poverty. Not him. He was third from his bottom his way out of poverty. He started trading baseball cards. Is that right? Made $3,000 in a weekend and then his own man makes him go to work. It is Lucas his wine store for $2 an hour. And he says haka, mon to him. And his he gets praise. He gets praised as I get praise. Yeah, so my mom's that's nice. He reveals her as I reveal mine I in fact, I dedicated my book that I wrote, what's

charlie ponger:

Dr Bob:

Looking good. Backslash. My passion for Optometry in the lives I've changed.

Dr Bob:

What Amazon?

charlie ponger:

Alright, but let me ask you a question. What the hell made you decide you wanted to be an eye doctor? You have a passion for eyes? Well? Yeah, there you go.

Dr Bob:

In the health care profession you because you like health

Dr Bob:

care, and but I didn't want blood and guts. Now this is interesting. Yeah. Do you do?

charlie ponger:

Do you do surgery? No. I'm

Dr Bob:

an optometrist. Surgery pseudo I do two things. I co manage. I give my patients who wanted to do LASIK or cataract surgery, what's best for them before they actually hit the surgeon. So they have a half way of telling what's going on and they get my point of view, which isn't just the monetary Yeah, but it's also in their best interest.

charlie ponger:

why did why do people when they get older when they're driving in the car, in order for them to see they turn down the radio so they can see better? What the hell is that all about? Well, you know,

Dr Bob:

I never really

Dr Bob:

honestly I'm going to crash up there.

charlie ponger:

I could tell with your personality. Yeah, your headphones. What about the time I was at an eye doctor for a checkup? And he's this was really mean to this guy. I said, he goes, Oh, you got a little black spot in the way back of your eye. And I asked him, so what do we do about that? And he was keep an eye on it. And I was like, what? You son of a bitch. Oh, what do you do? There was nothing there.

Dr Bob:

What do you want? What do you mean his monitor? Yeah, I know. It doesn't get any bigger.

charlie ponger:

No, I know. But there's nothing there. I went back and there was nothing there. Ever. There must have been a flake in the in the thing or something. It could be

Dr Bob:

Yeah. But you know, some of the stuff that I have. I have a question about always refer to a specialist. And

charlie ponger:

are you getting serious Amina? Because we're talking about Doctor shit, right? Yeah. So wait, wait, wait, wait. I want to just say one more thing about it. I'm playing golf. This is true. I'm playing golf and I'm putting and all of a sudden I see like these gnats in front of me. So I'm waving and I'm waving and I'm waving. And the guy goes it's floater. I go, you guys see gnats. But gnats. There's no nachos or floaters. And I'm like, What the hell's a floater and explain it to me. And I remember I was a little kid. I used to lie in bed and look at the there were white things and I was mesmerized by them. But now they're black.

Dr Bob:

Can I divert just a little guys. You have a few seniors in your audience? Very few

charlie ponger:

of them, right? Yeah. Anyway, teenagers. We're seeing ages. We're not I'm not admitting that. Senior.

Dr Bob:

Okay. So anyway, one of the things that's important when you're golfing, yeah. Is that when you're learning, you can't call for the bifocal. Really, right? Some people do, but you really most can't. But the most important, so let's say you have distance glasses, and you see Yeah, driven as far as you can possibly drive it. Yeah. Problem is, if you're putting your three field and this is a field, I can't

charlie ponger:

believe what you're gonna say. Because this is exactly what I do.

Dr Bob:

So anyway, if you three to three and if you're half half assed golfer, yeah, pretty good. You're gonna take gonna have trouble focusing on the ball and the pen, back and forth. Yeah, the only thing that can work for that and when they work, they work great. Yeah, so my youtube channel too, with the tennis player and the golfer multifocal contact lenses because they do not have an up and down left and right it's like simultaneous Oh,

charlie ponger:

my friend Patty boys gonna need those. And

Dr Bob:

when they work, yeah, they really work. I had one guy who is a tennis player. Almost perfect vision for distance. Yeah. 55 years old that prescribed he says my game improved. Why did he say it's game improved? He was eight he was this good? You know, you gotta be good. He can't. This isn't gonna make a miracle. Yeah, but he was now able to see the spin on the ball as he came to him. It's great. It's good to go. And so he said the difference in his play they were wondering whether he's taking lessons or whatever. So that part

charlie ponger:

What about the dominant eye? Because that's me and golf. Right? I know that I have a dominant eye but he has a dominant die. Alright, so I use that I when I'm putting only makes a big difference on a close it I just turn my head like, you know, if you're playing baseball, and you're like that, and it makes a massive difference in my accuracy pony,

Dr Bob:

right. But sometimes you have to use the other eye. You know why? If you were able to come over here if you hold the finger out, yeah. And you have somebody tried to touch it. Yeah. If you close one eye, you'll miss Yeah, that's you do it on yourself. You do on somebody else. Okay.

charlie ponger:

Coming to do that tonight to my friends. Yeah. And watch, you're gonna have to show me like later because this is a this isn't a visual thing.

Dr Bob:

But what you would do is you would actually have them touch it with both eyes open and have them cover one eye and they'll miss every time every time about this God. And I'm not gonna say your tremendous god. I'm not gonna say who it is. Yeah, but there are certain people who can't throw free throws. And it might be a matter of depth perception. If their eyes are not straight. They're not locked on and they don't have binocular depth perception. And it doesn't take binocular depth perception to dunk a ball

charlie ponger:

What about 2010 vision? Very few

And his bugs a shell out and I always had one eye that was a little more nearsighted than the other just enough. Yeah, right now I can still read. Yeah, okay, how am I need glasses for driving is if I were non prescription sunglasses, because it darkens. Good enough. Okay, I see. You're a golfer. Yeah, if you're a little competitive and gave me any good golfer give you a friend a pair of polarized sunglasses, they won't. They can't fucking read the green layer that

charlie ponger:

my ex perpetual fiance bought me sport glasses that change their prescription was a very nice thing for her to do, right. I mean, it's because it was riding bicycles a lot at the time.
