April is Women’s Eye Health & Safety Month

Today is the last day of April, which according to the U.S. CDC, is Women’s Eye Health & Safety Month. However considering that Mother’s Day is approaching (May 11^th), we at 20/20 Eyeglass Superstore thought that an excerpt from an article by Tim Sandle, published on digitaljournal.com, on Women’s Eye Health and Safety would be in order.

This April sees women’s eye health take center stage. The focus on women is because women account for two-thirds of people in the world affected by visual impairments and blindness. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) hosts a number of national health observances.

With eye safety at work, workers have a job-related eye injury that requires medical treatment. The CDC sees healthy vision as part of a healthy lifestyle. People with vision problems are more likely than those with good vision to have diabetes, heart problems, high blood pressure etc.

According to the Berkeley Eye Center, risk factors for vision problems in women include obesity, smoking, age, and poor nutrition.
