Keeping an Eye on Vision Health
Importance of Vision Health for Women
Maintaining good vision is crucial, especially for women. A report from the National Women's Health Resource Center highlights that women face a higher risk of vision-related problems, including blindness, as they age. Here are some proactive steps to protect your eye health:
1. Quit Smoking: Smokers are more susceptible to age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the leading cause of blindness in those over 65. While AMD has no cure, its progression can be slowed.
2. Protect Against UV Rays: Wearing sunglasses and a wide-brimmed hat can significantly reduce UV exposure to your eyes. If you use contact lenses, consider those with UV protection.
3. Maintain a Healthy Weight: Obesity increases the risk of Type 2 diabetes, leading to diabetic retinopathy, the main cause of blindness in people under 65. Obesity may also elevate the risk of cataracts, as noted by Harvard's Nurses' Health Study.
4. Incorporate Omega-3s: Daily fish oil supplements or eating fish 2-3 times a week may lower the risk of AMD. It's also wise to limit vegetable oil in your diet.
5. Eat Fruit Regularly: Consuming three or more servings of fruit daily has been linked to a 36% reduced risk of AMD.
6. Add Spinach to Your Diet: Spinach is abundant in lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants known for decreasing the risk of eye diseases like AMD. Leafy greens like kale, collards, and foods like eggs and orange fruits also offer benefits.
7. Regular Eye Exams: Visit an eye care professional for a comprehensive vision checkup at least every two years. If you have diabetes or other eye conditions, more frequent visits are recommended.
8. Stay Active: Regular physical activity, like a brisk 40-minute walk four times a week, can lower eye pressure in glaucoma patients, potentially eliminating the need for medication.
9. Change Eye Makeup Regularly: Replacing eye makeup every three to six months helps prevent bacterial infections.
10. Use Contact Lenses Safely: Avoid sleeping in daily wear contact lenses and adhere to their recommended usage duration.
By adopting these habits, you can safeguard your vision and maintain eye health well into the future.
