• How practitioners are working to communicate the full scope of what is possible in terms of improving vision, cognition, and overall health for the benefit of public awareness
• Dr. Appelbaum has worked with Dave Asprey to demonstrate and document how targeted interventions can significantly improve vision
• Why early-life screen time damages children’s health, harming learning and focus  
• How undiagnosed vision problems can have major impacts on health and wellbeing
• Which patients benefit most from ScreenFit
