April is Women’s Eye Health and Safety Awareness Month. Did you know that women are more likely to suffer from eye-related diseases and conditions than men? Some of the most common include; cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration (AMD). Visiting your VSP network doctor not only helps to catch signs of vision conditions early on, but it helps to monitor and understand the impact of other health conditions on the eyes. Women are also at risk for several overall health conditions that impact their vision, like, diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and breast and other cancers. Risks to eye health in women can be prevented, so be sure to visit your VSP network doctor regularly.
