Pregnancy is a wonderful time when the body is changing rapidly, and it makes sense to nourish your entire body, including your eyes, with healthy foods and an adequate amount of rest.
Many of the changes of pregnancy are well understood —
hormonal surges, food cravings, shifts in mood, morning sickness, an expanding
belly — but not all women know that vision changes can also accompany those 40
weeks of gestation. Most ocular changes
are temporary and will clear up after delivery.
If you're an avid contact lens wearer, you may have to switch to
glasses during your pregnancy. Most doctors advise against being fitted for
new contact lenses while
you're pregnant as your eyes may be in a constant state of change. If you normally wear contact lenses on a
daily basis, make sure you have a good pair of backup glasses to wear during
your pregnancy if you need a break from your contacts!
