The Day I Stopped Seeing My Myopia as a Diagnosis (opens the original)
Read excerpt
At eight years old, I was told I was nearsighted with astigmatism and that my vision would only get worse. Twenty years later, I was an optometrist myself—and still dependent on approximately -2.75 lenses. Then I started asking a different question: What if vision is about more than the optical condition of the eyeball? In this episode of The Berne Podcast, I tell the story of meeting developmental optometrist Dr. Albert A. Shankman and beginning an exploration that changed both my prescription
Basketball, Vision & Perceptual Ecology: What My New Film Changed in Me (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if vision is about much more than eyesight? In this episode, I share a personal story from my upcoming documentary Perceptual Ecology—how basketball became a refuge for me as a child and an early experience of self-regulation, rhythm, spatial awareness, and embodied presence.

The Way We See: An Archived Talk That Still Speaks Today (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if vision is about far more than seeing clearly? In this archived talk recorded at Ark Books in Santa Fe, I explore a question that has guided my life’s work: Can our eyes become healthier when we change the way we perceive ourselves and the world? Listening back, I realized these ideas became the foundation for what I now call Perceptual Ecology—the relationship between vision, the nervous system, movement, awareness, nature, and embodiment. The ancient story of the blind men and the eleph
