This week is Women’s Health Week! One very important aspect of women’s health is eye health. Women are more likely than men to have eye-related problems, making it even more important for women to stay on top of their eye care. Almost two-thirds of blindness and other visual problems occur in women worldwide.
Eye disease like glaucoma, cataracts, and age-related macular degeneration are more common for women. But it’s not all bad news! Most eye related problems can be treated when caught early – making a regular dilated eye exam critical to keeping your eye healthy for your lifetime.
Another piece of good news is that your eyes benefit from a lot of healthy behavior like exercise, eating right, and wearing proper eye protection.
Check out the infographics below about exercise and eating healthy – which will go along way in keeping your eyes in top shape!
