Healthwise: Bright Eyes

Posted by Staff on November 9, 2023 - 6:00am

By Karen L. Kier, Pharmacist on behalf of the ONU Healthwise Team 

Art Garfunkel recorded the song Bright Eyes for the movie Watership Down released in 1978. Art Garfunkel started his solo career after a break from Paul Simon in 1970. The famous duo of Simon & Garfunkel met in elementary school in New York before starting their musical careers. Simon & Garfunkel were inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1990. Garfunkel had a very accomplished solo career and was named by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the top 100 greatest singers of all time. 

Age may play a role in diminishing our bright eyes. Are there therapies available to reduce this aging?
