Our vision plays a vital role in everything we do, yet women face unique challenges when it comes to eye health. From hormonal changes that can impact tear production to a higher risk of conditions like dry eye and age-related macular degeneration, our eyes go through a lot over the years.
The good news? Small, proactive steps—like scheduling regular eye exams and being mindful of vision changes—can protect your sight for the long run. At Parenti-Morris Eyecare, we’re here to support women’s eye health with personalized care and advanced solutions tailored to your needs.
Prioritizing your vision isn’t just about seeing clearly today—it’s about protecting your sight for a lifetime. Let’s dive into why your eyes deserve some extra love and how Parenti-Morris Eyecare can help.
Why Regular Eye Exams Can Matter More for Women
Did you know that women are more likely to experience vision issues than men? In fact, according to the National Eye Institute:
- Two-thirds of blindness and visual impairment cases in the U.S. occur in women.
- Women are more likely to develop conditions like dry eye, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration.
- Hormonal changes can impact vision throughout life—especially during pregnancy, menopause, and aging.
Because eye diseases often develop silently, an annual eye exam is one of the best things you can do for your long-term health. Not only does it catch vision changes, but it also helps identify early signs of diseases like glaucoma, cataracts, and macular degeneration before they start affecting your daily life.
Think of it as self-care for your sight—because your eyes deserve the same attention as the rest of your health!
Menopause & Your Eyes—What to Expect
We all know menopause comes with its fair share of changes, but did you know it can impact your eye health too? Thanks to shifting hormone levels, menopause can lead to:
- Dry, irritated eyes that feel gritty or tired
- Increased risk of glaucoma and other age-related eye diseases
- Blurred vision due to hormone fluctuations
- Light sensitivity and discomfort
One of the biggest complaints? Dry eye syndrome. That uncomfortable, scratchy feeling in your eyes happens because estrogen and progesterone influence tear production. As those hormone levels drop, so does the quality of your tears.
Luckily, you don’t have to just “deal with it.” Parenti-Morris Eyecare offers advanced treatments designed to restore moisture, reduce irritation, and keep your eyes feeling refreshed.
