8. BSBrian Simpson0:19

   I just have, uh-

9. JRJoe Rogan0:21

   Did you always have glasses? Like, do you have a eyeball issue or is it-

10. BSBrian Simpson0:23

    Yeah, I got astigmatism.

11. JRJoe Rogan0:25

    Okay.

12. BSBrian Simpson0:25

    But I, uh, but I got one th- one for driving and one for my computer.

13. JRJoe Rogan0:29

    I used to have to use, um, reading glasses.

14. BSBrian Simpson0:33

    Oh, yeah?

15. JRJoe Rogan0:33

    Then I started using red light, red light therapy, and, uh, I think that, uh, fir- the first thing I started doing is taking, uh... This company Pure Encapsulations has this, um, it's called, uh, Macular Support.

16. BSBrian Simpson0:47

    Oh.

17. JRJoe Rogan0:47

    It's like a combination of nutrients that help your eyeballs.

18. BSBrian Simpson0:51

    Oh.

19. JRJoe Rogan0:51

    I don't know how. But it, I explained it to Huberman and he read it off to me, and he's like, "This makes sense." Um, but then, um, the big one was red light. I started using red light therapy. I don't need glasses anymore.

20. BSBrian Simpson1:02

    What?

21. JRJoe Rogan1:03

    Yeah, my gla- my eyes aren't perfect. Like, uh, in low light they're not so good. Like, uh, in a dark restaurant I have to use, like, the flashlight on my thing to read a menu.

22. BSBrian Simpson1:12

    Oh.

23. JRJoe Rogan1:12

    But I don't need glasses anymore.

24. BSBrian Simpson1:13

    Oh, d- so I was, I've been wondering that. Is it that I'm getting older or are they just using darker light in the restaurants? 'Cause-

25. JRJoe Rogan1:18

    They definitely use dark light in restaurants. I don't, I mean, young people can still read it. Like, I've gone to restaurants with my kids and they can read in the dark. I'm like, "You can read that?"

26. BSBrian Simpson1:27

    Oh.

27. JRJoe Rogan1:27

    I can't read it. But, um, but, like, small print, like on my phone, like reading an email, I didn't used to be able to read it, and now I can read it perfectly.

28. BSBrian Simpson1:37

    Oh, see, now... I'm, I'm hitting that age now where I gotta start switching.

29. JRJoe Rogan1:41

    Switching glasses.

30. BSBrian Simpson1:41

    For different... Yeah.
