Now is a Great Time to Get Your Eyes Checked at Our Family Eye Care Center
Serving San Jose & Santa Clara, CA

April is designated as Women's Eye Health and Safety Month, a time to shed light on the importance of eye health and safety among women. This month emphasizes the unique eye health challenges and risks women face. Statistics reveal that women are more prone than men to suffer from eye-related diseases such as cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration. Hormonal changes, pregnancy, and menopause can further influence women's vision and eye health, making regular family eye care examinations all the more crucial.

During Women's Eye Health and Safety Month, we here at 20/20 Optometry want to focus on raising awareness and educating women about the significance of regular eye check-ups, proper eye safety practices, and the role of a healthy lifestyle in maintaining vision health. We encourage women to get comprehensive eye exams to catch eye diseases early when they are most treatable, especially dryness. Digital eye strain and computer vision syndrome are all too common nowadays, but a visit to your local vision care center can help by providing professional dry eye treatment. If you are suffering from red eyes caused by eye allergies, there are solutions for that as well. Additionally, the month serves as a reminder of the importance of wearing UV-protective eyewear and using proper lighting to protect eyes from damage.

By raising awareness, providing education, and encouraging proactive vision care and eye health practices, Women's Eye Health and Safety Month aims to reduce the prevalence of vision impairment and blindness among women, promoting a lifetime of healthy vision.
