??Happy Women’s Day!?? From the moment you were born, He counted every hair on your head and gave vision to your eyes. Today, we honor the brilliance of women—their softness, grit, and determination. You push through pain and create purpose, even when hope feels distant. Woman, I see you. I celebrate you. ????????♀???? ??LaMia (Mia) Jones, OD ??Dr. Kerri-Ann Coombs Here are three common vision issues that affect women more frequently than men: 1. Dry Eye Syndrome – Hormonal changes, especially during pregnancy, menopause, and birth control use, make women more prone to dry, irritated eyes. 2. Cataracts – Women tend to live longer than men, increasing their risk of cataracts, which cause cloudy vision and can lead to blindness if untreated. 3. Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) – Women have a higher risk of AMD, a leading cause of central vision loss, often linked to genetics and lifestyle factors. OWL: Advancing Diversity in Leadership Fun fact: OWL originally stood for Ophthalmic Women Leaders but has since evolved into Ophthalmic World Leaders. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we recently celebrated our 20th anniversary! What began as a mission to advance women in ophthalmology has expanded to champion diversity in all its forms—not just gender. Today, OWL stands for inclusion across the entire eyecare industry, now embracing optometry as part of our vision for the future. De'Cordova Eyewear ? “Enlightening Eyes” ????

“Keep me as the apple of your eye; hide me in the shadow of your wings” ??Psalms? ?17?:?8? ?NIV?? Know that you are loved and treasured by God God’s love for you is so great because it is so intimate. David calls on God and asks him to ‘show the wonder of your great love’ (v.7). He prays, ‘Keep me as the apple of youreye’ (v.8a). The apple of the eye is the pupil (the opening of the iris in the eye through which light passes to reach the retina), and so signifies the thing most treasured. Meditate today on just how much you are treasured by God. - Nicky Gumbel @decordovaeyewear “ Enlightening Eyes” ???? I am your Visi??n Provider ????————-??????

Risk for Glaucoma ????♀????? 1. Sleep Apnea?? Sleep apnea can lead to reduced oxygen levels, which may increase the risk of optic nerve damage and contribute to normal-tension glaucoma. 2. Raynaud’s Phenomenon?? People with Raynaud’s (a condition causing reduced blood flow to extremities) may have poor blood circulation to the optic nerve, increasing glaucoma risk. 3. Thin Corneas?? A thinner central corneal thickness (CCT) is a subtle risk factor. It can underestimate intraocular pressure readings and be an independent risk factor for glaucoma progression. 4. Prolonged Use of Steroids?? Extended use of corticosteroids (whether oral, inhaled, or in eye drops) can elevate intraocular pressure, leading to secondary glaucoma. 5. High Myopia (Nearsightedness)?? High myopia can increase the risk of open-angle glaucoma due to structural changes in the eye and increased susceptibility of the optic nerve. 6. Migraines and Vascular Dysregulation?? Individuals prone to migraines or with systemic vascular dysregulation are at higher risk of normal-tension glaucoma, as fluctuations in blood flow may affect the optic nerve. 7. Family History Beyond First-Degree Relatives???????? While family history is commonly discussed, even extended family members with glaucoma can indicate a genetic predisposition. 8. African, Hispanic, or Asian Descent????♀? Although it’s commonly known that African ancestry increases glaucoma risk, fewer people know that Hispanic and certain Asian populations (e.g., those with East Asian descent) are also at higher risk. 9. Trauma to the Eye?? A history of eye trauma—even if it occurred long ago—can lead to traumatic glaucoma later in life. 10. Frequent Fluctuations in Blood Pressure ?? Both hypertension and hypotension can contribute to poor optic nerve perfusion, particularly in normal-tension glaucoma. I am your Visi??n Provider ????————-??????
