High Risk of Blindness for Women



Why are women at higher risk?
It is not particularly clear why women suffer vision loss more likely than men, yet both genders can develop vision loss due to cataracts, glaucoma, and age-related macular degeneration that sooner will lead to blindness if not properly taken care of. But according to the study of the American Academy of Ophthalmology that most patients encountered all these eye conditions, 61% are women.

Then other findings say according to the World Health Organization the reason of why women develop vision loss more often than men because they outlive men by around six to eight years, which results in age-related vision loss.
