April is Women’s Eye Health and Safety Month - Here's Why Maryland Women Should Take It Seriously
When was the last time you thought about your eye health?
For many women, regular eye care takes a back seat to the demands of work, family, and daily life. But this April, during Women’s Eye Health and Safety Month, Visual Eyes is urging women across Maryland to put their vision first because your sight is too important to ignore.
With locations in Silver Spring, Hyattsville, Clinton, Frederick, Greenbelt, and Mitchellville, we’re here to support every woman who wants to see clearly, feel empowered, and protect her long-term eye health.

Why Focus on Women’s Eye Health?
It’s a fact: Two-thirds of all visual impairments worldwide affect women. Research shows that women are more likely than men to suffer from conditions like:
- Cataracts
- Glaucoma
- Macular Degeneration (AMD)
- Dry Eye Syndrome
- Autoimmune-related vision problems
Several of these conditions can be prevented or managed effectively with early detection but only if you stay on top of your exams.
Hormones, Health & Vision: How Women’s Bodies Affect Their Eyes
Your vision is closely tied to your hormones and your health. Here are a few ways they intersect:
- Pregnancy can bring about temporary vision changes, dry eyes, or increased light sensitivity.
- Menopause often leads to decreased tear production, resulting in chronic dry eye.
- Birth control pills and hormone therapy can also increase the risk of eye conditions.
- Autoimmune diseases-more common in women-can cause inflammation and even vision loss.
This makes regular eye exams for women in Maryland not just a good idea-but a vital part of preventive care.
Warning Signs You Shouldn’t Overlook
Many women brush off small changes in their vision. But these symptoms may signal something more serious:
- Blurry or double vision
- Difficulty seeing at night
- Frequent headaches or squinting
- Light sensitivity
- Dry, itchy, or burning eyes
- Sudden loss of vision in one or both eyes
If you’ve experienced any of these, it’s time to schedule an eye exam in Maryland with a qualified optometrist at Visual Eyes.
