According to reports, a 30-year-old pregnant woman in Taiwan developed distorted and blurred vision in her right eye when she was about 30 weeks pregnant, with flashes of light when she closed her eyes. She went to the hospital for a check-up and found fundus bleeding and insufficient macular pigment. Subsequently, the visual acuity decreased and the visual acuity was only 0.4. Nowadays, most pregnant mothers go to the obstetrics and gynecology department for regular physical examinations. However, many pregnant mothers tend to neglect vision examinations.
Paying attention to vision examination and health care during pregnancy is beneficial to the health of the pregnant mother and fetus. During pregnancy, the lutein and omega-3 in the brain and nervous system that are most needed for fetal eye growth cannot be produced by women themselves and must be supplied by the mother. During pregnancy, as a large amount of nutrients in the body are continuously supplied to the fetus in the abdomen, pregnant women lose a lot of nutrients that protect their eyes. If these nutrients cannot be replenished in a timely and effective manner, pregnant women may suffer from symptoms such as blurred vision, aching pain, and photophobia. Bleeding under the eyes and other consequences. If you neglect eye examinations and health care during pregnancy, seek medical attention if your vision is obviously damaged, and cannot receive immediate medical treatment due to factors such as the health of the fetus, not only will your vision not be corrected, but it will also cause further damage to your vision.
In addition to receiving eye examinations during pregnancy, pregnant women should also supplement nutrients that are beneficial to the eyes, such as eating more fresh fish and vegetables, such as carrots, cucumbers, cauliflower, etc. You can choose oranges, persimmons, bananas, etc. as fruits.
