World Pregnancy Day: specialists warn about vision changes during pregnancy

SAPO9 September 2026 at 08:15

World Pregnancy Day is celebrated this Wednesday, September 9th. The date was symbolically chosen because it coincides with the ninth day of the ninth month of the year, in direct reference to the nine months of pregnancy.

Specialists warn about the vision changes that can occur during pregnancy. These visual changes are considered common and are often associated with the hormonal transformations that the female body undergoes throughout pregnancy.

During this period, many women may experience different eye symptoms, including blurred vision, dry eyes and increased light sensitivity. These manifestations are usually temporary and tend to disappear after childbirth, although they should be monitored by health professionals.
