April is Women's Eye Health & Safety Month
This month, we shed light on eye health issues impacting women worldwide.
According to the National Eye Institute, two-thirds of individuals with vision issues or blindness are women. They're also more susceptible to specific eye conditions like age-related macular degeneration, cataracts, and glaucoma.
Why are women more at risk? π€
π©ββοΈ Gender and financial disparities can limit access to eye care.
π€° Hormonal changes during pregnancy and menopause can affect vision.
π΅ Longer life expectancy means a higher risk for age-related eye conditions.
Let's make eye health a priority for all women this month and every month!
