Pregnant mothers should not neglect vision care

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.
