Presbyopia is a gradual and age-related loss of the eyes' ability to focus on nearby objects. It is produced by the increase in thickness and hardening of the lens, since it is continuously growing. It is capable of focusing on objects at different distances thanks to its accommodation mechanism, which is the ability of the lens to change its shape and power to focus on distant and near objects. Over time it loses transparency, flexibility and increases its rigidity, being one of the main causes of presbyopia. That is why it is a problem that affects a billion people around the world (Molina Bello & Bravo Sarró, 2021)

April is Women’s Eye Health and Safety Month. Did you know that more women suffer from visual impairments than men? Two thirds of blindness occurs in women. Fortunately, 75% of visual impairment is preventable and/or treatable. One reason why women are affected by more eye health issues than men is because they tend to live longer.

Under normal conditions, people blink between 16 and 20 times per minute. When we see a screen, this rhythm is reduced by half. This reduced blink rate can cause the eyes to feel scratchy, burn, water or even cause issues with maintaining focus. ?

It takes commitment to providing eye care for our communities in need and working together in collaboration to see over 350 patients since we began our work at the end of 2020.

Thanks to the many many volunteers of In Her Vision Foundation and our wonderful collaborators at Project Sight dt mobile health and Essilor Vision Foundation for doing this work alongside us.

Also, none of this would be possible without all the other incredible non-profits and organizations we partnered with to serve the folks they are taking care of, each and every day.
