It’s important for females to take care of their eyes, not only when they reach old age, but when they are younger as well. According to the World Health Organization, girls and women make up 1/3 of the world’s blind. A lot of women don’t take care of their eyes as they should, leading to eye problems down the line. By the time you’re 40 years old, you will likely be reading books up close and personal. Leaving a problem like this unchecked will only lead to worsened eye conditions.
