[00:00:00] Paul Swearengin: all right, Craig. You ready to go?

Craig Scharton: I am ready.

Paul Swearengin: All right, let's do it. Okay. Welcome to the show, everyone. Hi, everybody on Facebook, we love your comments. Let us know you're watching out there. It's time for a two guys talking Fresno podcast.

Craig, we've gotten a little irregular with these, but it's good to be back together

Craig Scharton: again. We have, I know we both had things taking over our lives and And

Paul Swearengin: like our jobs and our income and

Craig Scharton: yeah, those little things, it is a catches catch can, which we said at the beginning, but we were more, we were pretty regular before and I think.

Maybe after the new year, we can get back to our a once a week. What do you think?

Paul Swearengin: I think 20, 20, 21, 2020 has been odd for everybody. And so when we get to 21, I think maybe it'll get back on course here a little bit. We hope, but

Dr. Tomas Casagrande: maybe it's just a number to

Paul Swearengin: be, could be, but I was going to say, speaking of [00:01:00] 2020.

That was going to be the perfect transition. We have Dr. Thomas Casagrande from 2020. I care. Is that right? Did I get them

Dr. Tomas Casagrande: well? It's the tuna is 2020 optometric of Fresno, and I picked that name in 1986 and I never thought that someday it would. I thought I can't wait for 2020. It's going to be cool. I don't 2020 in 2020.

and then boom, March.

Paul Swearengin: you haven't changed the name. That's good.

Dr. Tomas Casagrande: Yeah. Yeah. we'll keep the name because 2020 means, as you all know, if you have 20, 20 vision that's normal vision. So that was the idea there behind them.

Paul Swearengin: Yeah. So we're glad to have Dr. , we've all been doing a lot of screen time, Craig, and I see that you have glasses that are built to help you with that.

Craig Scharton: Yeah. and, Dr. Casa grandad doesn't know it, but, when you, and he [00:02:00] talked about having him on. Paul said, it'd be really good because of all the screen time and how it's messing up people's eyes. So when I went to my, Kaiser appointment, I said, Hey, I hear that the screen is messing up people's eyes.

And they said, yes. So we'll give you a glass of this specifically with, at the distance of your computer. So even though I went through Kaiser, cause that is my insurance company talk, Dr. Costa grandad still steered me in the right direction. So I don't know that I ha I didn't help you financially that way, but in karma, You just got even better car, but

Dr. Tomas Casagrande: that's right.

as long as you can, as long as it's done properly, we're happy.

Paul Swearengin: So is that true? People doing a lot more zoom meetings working remotely? Is it having impact on eyesight?

Dr. Tomas Casagrande: what's happening is when the, I think if you think of what we were doing a hundred years ago, 200 years ago, [00:03:00] a thousand years ago, we, weren't looking at something so close for eight hours a day, which is going on right now.

And then people there eight hours a day, and then they come home and they're on a furnace four or five hours. And I wasn't made for that because when it looks at that, something that close it's, there's a lot more muscle action in the eye causes a lot of eye strain. That's where you get the burning eyes.

you'll get a little brow headaches. Some people they'll even go, I'm playing a little headaches right here, right above, right inside their eyes. If you get that, these are all symptoms of minor eye, conditions that are easy to correct with the right pair of glasses, but it's done.

And then you could be clear and comfortable on your computer. So yeah, we're seeing the kids, especially because they're all zoomin. we're,
