46:49Now Playing7.30.2026 #SecondOpinion w/ Dr. Ebony Jade Hilton: Cataracts Explained. Sports Injuries. America's Allergy Care Crisis
In this episode of #SecondOpinion, Dr. Ebony Jade Hilton explores protecting your vision, preventing sports injuries, improving access to allergy care, and the everyday health decisions that can help you live a healthier life.
Dr. Valencia Wells, the first Black president of the Alabama Optometric Association, explains what cataracts are, who is most at risk, the early warning signs people often overlook, and how regular eye exams, healthy lifestyle habits, and modern cataract surgery can help preserve vision as we age.
Next, double board-certified sports medicine physician Dr. Benecia Williams discusses the most common summer sports injuries affecting children and adults, how parents can help young athletes avoid overuse injuries, the importance of proper recovery, and how regenerative medicine is changing the way certain injuries are treated. She also shares practical advice for anyone looking to safely become more active this summer.
Dr. Cheryl Walker-McGill, Chair of the National Medical Association's Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology Section, examines the growing burden of allergies, asthma, eczema, food allergies, and other immune-related conditions. She discusses disparities in access to specialty care, the nationwide shortage of allergists, innovative solutions such as telehealth and artificial intelligence, and when patients should seek evaluation from an allergy and immunology specialist.
