March is Workplace Eye Wellness Month, a time to raise awareness about the importance of protecting your eyes in the workplace. At MyVision Eye Clinic, led by Dr. Rinku Das, we are committed to helping you maintain optimal eye health, whether you’re working from home or in an office. With the increasing use of digital devices, it’s more important than ever to take proactive steps to care for your eyes.

Why Women’s Eye Health Deserves Attention

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
