Dr. Goldberg received his B.S. magna cum laude from Yale University, and his M.D. and Ph.D. from Stanford University where he made significant discoveries about the failure of optic nerve regeneration.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Dr.Goldberg\u2019s research is directed at vision restoration, including neuroprotection and regeneration of the retina and optic nerve, a major unmet need in glaucoma and other eye diseases. His laboratory is developing novel molecular, stem cell and nanotherapeutics approaches for eye repair, and he is widely recognized for translating advances in the lab into clinical trials for patients.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>A number of his innovations have spun out into startups and clinical-stage companies, and he serves as medical and scientific advisor to a number of ophthalmic startup, pharma and device companies.

JEFFREY GOLDBERG QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW<\/h3>\n<p><strong>\u201cI have gone my whole life without needing glasses until I hit around age 40. And when everyone hits around age 40, our lens inside the eye won\u2019t compress and reshape to focus up close.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u00a0Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cProfessional athletes get studied, they have better vision. They have better reflex time, they have sharper vision. We talk about 20\/20 vision. That means I can see at 20 feet what a \u2018normal\u2019 person can see at 20 feet, so I have normal vision. But you can have 20\/12 vision, which means you can see at 20 feet what normal people can see at 12 feet.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u00a0Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cGlaucoma is the number one cause of irreversible blindness in the world. That I think is going to be the piece that we overturn. We have always said, \u2018Hey, we\u2019ve got to prevent you from losing vision. We\u2019ve got to slow down the disease because once you\u2019ve lost whatever vision you\u2019ve lost, I can\u2019t get that back for you.\u2019 And I think that is about to topple. We are about to get into vision restoration at a level that has been totally unexpected and totally unprecedented, and the science supporting these directions in these diseases is getting really, really juicy.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u00a0Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cCannabis, whether you smoke it, or eat it in the brownie, or take the chewy, it lowers your eye pressure if you\u2019re using the version \u2026 where you feel a little high from it, you get that good feeling. The problem is that it only really lowers the eye pressure during that time that you\u2019re getting high. So I tell patients, \u2018It works, but you\u2019d have to be high 24\/7, so maybe you should just use this eye drop instead.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u00a0Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cA small dose of daily red light can slow down progression of myopia in young people. We\u2019re talking about teens and younger, even. So what\u2019s even more shocking to me is that it also works with violet light. So how\u2019s it work with light at the two ends of the visible spectrum? And definitely mitochondria are implicated.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u00a0Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThere\u2019s an important myth to dispel, especially when it comes to presbyopia and wearing reading glasses. Between age 40 and around 60 or so, that lens stiffens, and stiffens, and stiffens\u2026 That\u2019s the refractive, the glasses difference between viewing something at infinity, which from an optics perspective is actually just three feet away or further, and viewing something at 14 inches, comfortable reading distance, right in front of us.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u00a0Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cIf we all live to a hundred, we\u2019re all going to need cataract surgery, some people younger, some people older. But if you do cataract surgery and restore vision in an older person who \u2026 is suffering with cognitive decline and\/or depression, you can reverse a significant amount of that decline in either of those domains. It speaks to the interplay of vision with our mental health, our cognitive health, and this is long-term, important stuff.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u00a0Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cThe important thing to remember [about exercise] is that the biggest gain comes from going from none to some.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u00a0Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hop.clickbank.net\/?affiliate=infohatch&amp;vendor=J1R2C\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-10614 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/profit-gen400px.png\" alt=\"Profit Gen\" width=\"400\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/profit-gen400px.png 400w, https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/profit-gen400px-300x163.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr. Jeffrey Goldberg is Professor and Chair of Ophthalmology and Director of the Byers Eye Institute at Stanford University, a leading scientist in the development [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11395,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11394","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-growth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11394","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11394"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11394\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11395"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11394"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11394"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/parmaks.com\/Resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11394"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
