Certain factors that cause females have more eye issues—
-
Hormonal changes: Hormonal fluctuations that occur during puberty, pregnancy, and menopause can affect the eyes, causing dryness, blurred vision, and other issues.
-
Longer life expectancy: Women typically live longer than men, which means they are more likely to develop age-related eye conditions such as cataracts, macular degeneration, and glaucoma.
-
Makeup use: The use of cosmetics can increase the risk of eye infections and irritations, particularly if proper hygiene practices are not followed.
-
Contact lens use: Women are more likely to wear contact lenses than men, which can increase the risk of eye infections if not used properly.
-
Environmental factors: Women may be exposed to more environmental factors that can affect the eyes, such as UV radiation from the sun or exposure to air pollutants.
