Women's Eye Health and Safety Month

Why Women’s Eye Health Deserves Attention

• 10 April 2025
• Dr. Rinku Das

Did you know that two-thirds of blindness and visual impairment cases worldwide occur in women? Hormonal fluctuations, longer life expectancy, and autoimmune conditions make women more susceptible to eye diseases.

At myvisioneyeclinic — ranked among the best eye hospitals in Sarjapur Road, Bellandur, and Harlur — we emphasize preventive eye care for women of all ages.

Common Eye Conditions Affecting Women

1. Dry Eye Syndrome

• Hormonal changes reduce tear production.
• Autoimmune disorders like Sjögren’s syndrome.

Symptoms:

• Burning, itching, or gritty sensation
• Blurred vision that improves with blinking
• Light sensitivity

Treatment:

• Artificial tears, LipiFlow, and lifestyle modifications

2. Cataracts

• Increased UV exposure over time
• Estrogen decline post-menopause

3. Glaucoma

Fact: 61% of glaucoma patients globally are women.

• Risk factors: Family history, diabetes, hypertension

Glaucoma has no early symptoms—screenings at our Harlur clinic can detect it early.

4. Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD)

• Eat leafy greens (lutein & zeaxanthin)
• Quit smoking
• Use blue-light-blocking glasses

Pregnancy and Eye Health

• Blurred vision from fluid retention
• Dry eyes from hormonal changes
• Retinopathy from gestational diabetes

Note: Avoid LASIK during pregnancy due to hormonal effects on healing.

Newborn Eye Care Tips

• Check for redness or discharge
• Use proper lighting
• Get pediatric eye exams at Vision Eye Clinic
