Your Eyesight Will Improve Significantly

According to the National Eye Institute, twice as many women as men are diagnosed with vision-threatening diseases each year.
It seems that the women over the men are more likely to suffer blindness and vision loss. One common eye disease/syndrome is dry eye syndrome, and it is two to three times more prevalent in women than it is in men. This seems to be due to the differences in hormones.

Autoimmune diseases, like lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and even certain kinds of cataracts are also more common in women than they are in men.

These risks, including the age-related risks like age related macular degeneration, also increase with age, and affect more women, (probably because women do live l).

A lack of sleep or bad sleeping habits will cause dry eyes, blurry vision and risk of eye damage. Dr. Meir Kryger, director of the Sleep Disorder Clinic at St. Boniface Hospital Research Center at the University of Manitoba, notes that, “There are many sleep problems that men don’t ever have, like the sleepiness of pregnancy, waking up for breast-feeding, and hot flashes. Further, the most common sleep problem is insomnia, and in every single age group beginning at adolescence, women are two times more likely to have insomnia than are men.”
