Trendy sunglasses and age-related diseases can cause eye problems for women
Women actually face a higher risk of eye issues than men for various reasons. With April being Women s Eye Health month, one New Jersey eye doctor explains why this is so and what can be done about it.
According to The American Academy of Ophthalmology, women account for 65% of cases of age-related macular degeneration, 61% of glaucoma cases and 66% of the world s blindness population.
Dr. Joseph Calderone of Better Vision New Jersey in Cranford said the incidence of eye disease increases with aging. Women tend to live longer than men so they tend to suffer more from cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, dry eye syndrome and any eye disease, which is related to high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol or triglycerides and blood sugar problems.
