You squint at the board in the back of the room. You hold your phone further and further away to read it. You've been told you have astigmatism but have absolutely no idea what that actually means.

9. Keratoconus: Why Your Vision Keeps Getting Worse and What To Do About It
Your glasses prescription keeps changing. Your vision is blurry even with correction. Lights have halos and streaks around them.

Keratoconus is a progressive condition where the cornea — the clear front window of your eye — gradually thins and bulges forward into a cone shape. It typically starts in the teenage yea...

5. Don't Just Show Up: How to Prepare for Your Eye Exam Like a Pro
Most people show up to their eye exam with absolutely no preparation — and honestly? I get it. It feels like the kind of appointment where you just sit down, read some letters off a chart, and you're done. But here's what I know from 15 years of seeing patients: the people who come prepared get so much more out of their visit. Better questions answered. Better treatment decisions made. Better outcomes.

7. Fuchs Corneal Dystrophy: What's Happening to the Window of Your Eye
Your vision is blurry and hazy when you wake up — but by afternoon it's noticeably better. You've mentioned it to people and they look at you like you're imagining things. But you're not. And if that sounds familiar, this episode is for you. That pattern — worse in the morning, better later in the day — is one of the most telltale signs of Fuchs corneal dystrophy. It's a condition that affects the very front window of your eye, and while many people have never heard of it, it's more common th...

8. Narrow Angles: The Eye Emergency You Didn't Know You Were At Risk For
Sudden severe eye pain. A headache that comes out of nowhere. Vision that goes blurry with halos around lights. Nausea. These are the signs of acute angle closure glaucoma — one of the true emergencies in eye medicine. And the scariest part? Many of the people it happens to had no idea they were at risk. Narrow angles is one of those conditions that flies completely under the radar — until it doesn't. I find it in patients every single week during routine eye exams, quietly sitting there with...

4. Macular Degeneration: When the Center of Your World Goes Blurry
Imagine looking at your loved one's face and seeing a dark, blurry smudge right where their eyes should be. Or trying to read and watching the words in the center of the page disappear.

I'm Dr. Parul Khator, a board-certified ophthalmologist and glaucoma specialist in Marietta, Georgia — and macular degeneration is one of the conditions I talk about with patients every s...

6. That Bump on Your Eyelid: Everything You Need to Know About Styes
You wake up one morning and there it is — a tender, red, angry little bump on your eyelid. Or maybe it's not painful at all, just stubbornly sitting there for weeks, refusing to go away no matter what you do. Sound familiar? Styes (hordeola) and chalazia are two of the most common eyelid conditions I see in my clinic — and also two of the most misunderstood. Patients come in having tried every home remedy in the book, not sure whether to be worried, and almost always asking the same question:...

3. Glaucoma: The Sneaky Thief of Sight
It's called the sneaky thief of sight — and for good reason. Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness in the world, and most people who have it don't even know it. No pain. No blurry vision. No warning. Until it's too late. I'm Dr. Parul Khator, a board-certified ophthalmologist and glaucoma specialist in Marietta, Georgia — and glaucoma is my specialty. I treat it every single day. And the thing that breaks my heart most? So much of the vision loss I see could have been...

2. Eye Anatomy 101: A Tour of the Most Fascinating Organ in Your Body

And trust me, once you do, you'll never look at vision the same way again. Pun intended. 👁️ I'm Dr. Parul Khator, a board-certified ophthalmologist and glaucoma specialist in Marietta, Georgia — and this episode is one of my absolute favorites to talk about.

1. Cataracts: Everything You Were Afraid to Ask
You've just been told you have a cataract. Or maybe your mom has one. Or maybe you're just noticing that your vision isn't quite what it used to be — colors seem duller, headlights at night look like starbursts, and your glasses prescription keeps changing. Whatever brought you here, you're in the right place. I'm Dr. Parul Khator, a board-certified ophthalmologist and glaucoma specialist practicing in Marietta, Georgia — and I created this podcast because I believe one thing deeply: the more...

11. YAG Capsulotomy: The Quick Fix Your Eyes Might Need After Cataract Surgery
Published 26 May 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] When we do cataract surgery, even the best of the best surgeons, we cannot remove all of these cells, and you wouldn't want us to try. Why not? Because the lens capsule, the bag that holds the lens in place, is a very important structure we do not want to damage during surgery. This bag, after all, will house your brand new artificial lens. Violation of this capsule means the jelly in the back of the eye, called the vitreous, can come forward to the front of the eye which can create a whole slew of issues. This important capsule is also quite fragile. How fragile? Well, the anterior capsule, that's the side facing the front of the eye, is only 25 micrometers thick. […]
