Why Women’s Eye Health and Safety Month is Important to Everyone

Women suffer from a variety of eye diseases and conditions at rates far higher than men. Of those with cataracts – 61% are women. Diabetic Retinopathy – 51% are women. Age-related macular degeneration – 65% are women. Dry eye – more than 60% are women.

During Women’s Eye Health and Safety Month in April, we encourage all women to book a regular eye examination to maintain their eye health. Alex Gage Family Optometrist offers comprehensive eye examinations at both our Woodseats and Crosspool practices.
