Midlife Vision Changes: Blurred Lines Aren’t Just Screen Fatigue
Sudden difficulty reading, driving at night, or focusing on near objects is common after 40.
Research shows that over 60% of women in their 40s–50s experience presbyopia, but hormonal fluctuations can worsen dry eyes and eye strain.
What women often don’t know:
Estrogen loss reduces tear production, increasing dryness and irritation.
Dry eyes can contribute to headaches, neck tension, and fatigue.
Vision changes can affect confidence, independence, and quality of life.
Solutions:
Regular eye exams detect early cataracts, glaucoma, or refractive changes.
Artificial tears and humidifiers improve comfort.
Blue light breaks reduce digital eye strain.
Nutrients like lutein, zeaxanthin, and omega-3s protect retinal health.
Your eyes are adjusting to hormonal and age-related shifts — not failing. Support them, and life remains clear.
