The Optical Delusion

health, fitness, medicine · EN-GB

The Optical Delusion explores glaucoma, sight loss and the wider systems that shape how people live, adapt and access support. Each short episode takes one credible source - from research and treatment to technology, policy and accessibility - and asks what it really means in everyday life. Evidence comes first, but it is examined through livedexperience, thoughtful questioning and plain English. Calm, curious and practical, the podcast looks beyond the obvious story to find the questions that matter.The Optical Delusion is written and editorially directed by Kesh Patel, with AI-assisted drafting, synthetic narration and an automated production workflow designed to significantly reduce visual screen time. For a podcast about vision, that seemed like a reasonably sensible place to start.
