A pair of bright eyes is not only a symbol of beauty, but also a window to health. However, due to the particularity of their physiology and lifestyle habits, women are more likely to be "favored" by eye diseases, and the incidence rate is 2-3 times higher than that of men.
On the occasion of "Women's Day", here is a summary of several eye diseases that women are prone to, and uncover those "killers" that lurk in daily life and threaten women's eye health! I hope that the majority of female compatriots will pay attention to eye health and always have bright eyes.
1. Allergic conjunctivitis
It is a common eye disease that women are more likely to suffer from than men. Because women are generally more sensitive than men, they are more likely to have allergic reactions to allergens such as pollen, dust, etc. In addition, women generally prefer makeup more than men, and the use of cosmetics may cause eye allergies. Therefore, women need to pay attention to eye hygiene, avoid contact with allergens, and use cosmetics properly.
2. Angle-closure glaucoma
Angle-closure glaucoma is a serious eye condition that is more susceptible to women than men. Because women's eyeballs are usually smaller than men's, the corners of the eyes are narrower, which increases the risk of developing angle-closure glaucoma. In addition, mood swings may also contribute to the onset of angle-closure glaucoma. Therefore, women need to pay attention to maintaining a stable mood and avoiding mood swings.
3. Chronic dacryocystitis
Middle-aged and elderly women are more likely to be infected than other groups of people, because as they age, the function of women's tear glands will gradually decline, resulting in insufficient tear secretion, which is easy to cause dacryocystitis. In addition, women are also more likely to suffer from other chronic diseases, such as diabetes, in middle and old age, which may also affect tear secretion and the occurrence of dacryocystitis. Therefore, middle-aged and elderly women need to pay attention to maintaining good health and preventing the occurrence of chronic diseases.
4. Dry eye syndrome
Dry eye is also a common eye condition that is more susceptible to in working women than other populations. Working women usually work in air-conditioned rooms or in front of computers for long periods of time, and excessive use of their eyes for a long time will cause their eyes to lose moisture, which is more likely to lead to dry eyes. In addition, working women are also under greater work pressure, and long-term tension may affect tear secretion, which can lead to the occurrence of dry eye syndrome. Therefore, working women need to pay attention to eye hygiene, avoid working in a dry environment for long periods of time, and pay attention to reducing work stress.
So, how can women prevent high-incidence eye diseases in their daily lives?
1. Control the time you use your eyes: Prolonged near eye use is one of the main causes of high-incidence eye diseases. Therefore, it is necessary to control the time you spend using your eyes and take breaks from your eyes every once in a while.
2. Increase the time for outdoor activities: Sunlight can promote the body's synthesis of vitamin D, which helps protect eye health. Therefore, it is advisable to increase the time spent outdoors.
3. Eat a healthy diet: Adequate intake of nutrients such as vitamins A, C, and E should be included in the diet to protect eye health. In addition, excessive intake of sugar and fat should be avoided to prevent chronic diseases such as diabetes and high blood pressure.
4. Have regular eye examinations: Regular eye examinations can detect and ** high-incidence eye diseases, such as glaucoma, cataracts, etc.
5. Pay attention to eye hygiene: Maintaining eye hygiene can prevent eye infections and inflammation. For example, use a clean towel to wipe your eyes, avoid sharing eye products with others, etc.
