Obesity & Ocular Health
Obesity is a multifactorial disease with genetic, societal, socioeconomic, and environmental influences. As a multisystem disease, obesity’s implications span from insulin resistance to cardiovascular disease and eventually risk premature mortality.
The correlation between obesity and ocular health could not be anymore stark. For starters, obesity-related insulin resistance increases the risk of subsequent retinopathy. Additionally, the presence of excessive abdominal weight may result in increased intracranial pressure with negative visual sequelae.
Furthermore, chronic obesity fosters a pro-inflammatory state carrying an elevated risk of autoimmune disease and macular degeneration. With all of these at play, it is crucial that eyecare professionals are educated on the risks so they can pass on this information to their patients.
