See Better. Hear Better. The Future of Eyewear Is Here.
In honor of National Eyewear Day (June 6), Dr. Troy Bell and Dr. Gene Terrezza welcome special guest DJ Taylor to share one of the most exciting advances in optical technology: eyewear that doubles as hearing aids from Nuance Audio.

These stylish, prescription-compatible glasses are designed for those with mild to moderate hearing loss, seamlessly blending sophisticated sound technology into everyday eyewear. Plus, DJ shares more about the Ray-Ban Meta glasses collab that allows you to answer calls, capture video, listen to music and even translate what others are saying…all from your glasses!

Whether you’re watching on YouTube or listening on your favorite podcast app, this episode gives you a closer look (and listen!) at how these two brands are redefining the future of eyewear.
