In this episode of Now I’ve Heard Everything, host Bill Thompson sits down with Dr. Durga Larkin, MD, an ophthalmologist and author of the new book Timeless Vision: Empowered Aging Redefined. Dr. Larkin shares how her decades-long career as an eye surgeon inspired her to view aging not as a structural decline or a narrowing field of view, but as a profound opportunity for inner growth and reinvention.
Using the physical mechanics of the eye as a powerful metaphor, she explains how unrecognized “blind spots”—societal expectations and limiting beliefs—can hold us back at any age. Dr. Larkin also shares a deeply personal turning point: how a severe wrist injury threatened her dominant surgical hand, forcing her to confront her own identity and ultimately choose to live out the exact advice of her book. Whether you are in your 30s or your 90s, this conversation is an inspiring reminder that you can expand your vision, adjust your trajectory, and embrace life with purpose.
