Eye Exams During Pregnancy and Breastfeeding

As you journey through pregnancy, your body undergoes incredible changes. Did you know that hormonal fluctuations can also impact your vision? That's why getting a pregnancy eye exam is a safe and important step in maintaining your overall health and well-being.

Why is an Eye Exam During Pregnancy Important?

• Hormonal Changes & Vision: Pregnancy hormones can cause temporary changes in your vision, such as blurred vision, dry eyes, or difficulty focusing. A vision check during pregnancy can help identify these shifts.

• Potential Prescription Changes: Your existing vision prescription might change during pregnancy. An eye exam ensures you have the correct prescription for clear and comfortable vision.

• Safe for You and Baby: Rest assured, a routine eye exam while pregnant is generally safe for both you and your baby.

• Continued Eye Health During Breastfeeding: Your eye health remains a priority even after your little one arrives. A breastfeeding eye exam is also safe and recommended to monitor any lingering vision changes.

Important: Always Inform Your Eye Doctor!

When you schedule your eye exam when pregnant, make sure to tell your eye care provider that you are expecting. This allows them to tailor the examination and any recommendations to your specific needs and ensure the safety of any tests or treatments.
